NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – Police are searching for a man they say has been targeting women inside Prospect Park in recent weeks, pulling their hair and even forcing one to perform a sex act on him.
The NYPD released surveillance images of the suspect on Thursday.
They say he's behind at least three attacks on women in the park since late February.
In the first attack on Feb. 24, police say a man came up behind a 58-year-old woman who was walking in the park and pulled her hair before fleeing.

On March 11, police say the suspect attacked a 24-year-old woman near East and Center drives. The attacker forced the woman to perform a sex act on him before taking off out of the park.
Two days later, police say a 26-year-old woman was walking when a man knocked her cell phone out of her hand and grabbed her by the hair. She was able to fight off her attacker, but the suspect got away with her phone.
The NYPD says the three incidents happened between 2:30 and 5 a.m.
One woman told 1010 WINS' Glenn Schuck that she'll be moving faster during her morning stroll.
"I'm not stopping for anybody," she said. "Usually I'll help someone for directions or whatever, but now you've got to think twice."
