Police have increased their presence in the area and are now appealing for witnesses after the three serious sexual assaults took place in Woodhouse Moor in the early hours of Thursday.

The first two assaults happened shortly before 2am when two women who were walking through the park were approached from behind by a man who sexually assaulted them.

The victims shouted at the suspect, who then ran off.
