Prague police are searching for a man caught on security cameras after two separate sexual assaults occurred on Monday morning in the city’s southwest.

According to police spokesperson Jan Rybanský, the man first assaulted a woman on the Nové Butovice metro platform and then attacked a second victim shortly afterward in a nearby park.

In both cases, the attacker approached his victims from behind, groping them inappropriately.

“In the first incident, he grabbed a woman by the buttocks while she was boarding the metro train at Nové Butovice,” said Rybanský.

Just minutes later, the same man allegedly followed a 22-year-old woman up a staircase in a nearby park. He reportedly groped both her buttocks and genitals before fleeing the scene.

Police have released clear CCTV images of the suspect in hopes the public can help identify him.

The footage shows a man with a medium build and light skin, wearing very short dark hair. At the time of the assaults, he was dressed in dark trousers, black and white sneakers, and what appeared to be a black sweatshirt with a large skull symbol in a yellow or gold circle.

Authorities are asking for the public’s help.

“If you recognize this individual, please call the 158 police hotline immediately,” said Rybanský. “We are also urging any other women who may have been assaulted by this man to come forward and report their experiences.”
