Police in Englewood want residents to be on the lookout after a series of escalating sexual attacks.
Authorities say three women have been attacked in two weeks near Tenafly Road and Cambridge Avenue. A fourth attack may also be related, police say. The attacker has been grabbing women from behind and covering his victims' mouths before sexually assaulting them.
The latest incident occurred Friday morning in broad daylight on Cambridge Avenue. The previous attacks had all come at night.
Police say the attacker has no discernible victim type. The first two victims are in their 50s, but Friday's attack was on a woman in her 20s.
