In each case, the suspect approaches the victim by coming up from behind and groping them in a Broad Street Subway concourse or stairwell. The attacks all happened between noon and 5 p.m. in South Philadelphia.
Security cameras captured a picture of the suspect. He's described as:
- a black male
- mid to late teens
