Chicago police are warning people to walk in groups after two women were sexually assaulted on the city’s Near North Side.

In a community alert, the department says that the first attack happened June 17 and the second one happened early Sunday morning. The alert says in each case a man approached the victims on the street, dragged them into an alley and then sexually assaulted them.

The department believes the same man is responsible for both attacks.
