Police believe Bulls is the man seen in surveillance video recorded on April 26th, the day both assaults happened.

The first happened at 4:55 p.m. Police say a woman left the Chinatown Learning Center and was walking in the 1000 block of Spring Street when a man approached her from behind, touched her buttocks, then fled.

An hour and a half later, at 6:25 p.m. another woman was walking north on 11th Street toward Vine Street when a man walked by her. He then turned, approached her from behind, touched her buttocks, then fled.
