    Local Facebook groups have been full of reports of assaults/attempted assaults recently. At least one in the park. Several on coffin lane. Seems to be the same attacker . He is described as in 20s, red facial hair, beanie hat and often green gilet.

    Most but not all victims seem to be female. Police are aware.

    Thought I should flag for those who pass through the area on foot.
