PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Philadelphia police say a predator who’s attacked female prostitutes earlier this year may be responsible for two more recent attacks.

Philly.com (https://bit.ly/2dDAI9w ) reports the most recent incident occurred Oct. 1 when a man on a bike propositioned her for sex. She tells police the man choked her until she lost consciousness after sex.

Police believe the same man also accosted another prostitute at gunpoint Sept. 19. He took her to an alley and sexually assaulted her while holding a knife to her face.



Police believe the same man attacked a prostitute with a brick then stabbed her after making a sexual deal on July 16. She died. The same man, often arriving on a bike, is believed to have attacked at least one other prostitute, slashing her throat April 19.
