Police are searching for a man they believe may be involved in several groping incidents in South Seattle.
The most recent incident occurred Wednesday when a woman was approached by a man as she was entering her apartment.
The woman told police that a man wearing a mask ran up the stairs behind her, put his hand over her mouth, told her to be quiet, and groped her.
She fell to the ground and screamed at which point the groper fled. A neighbor helped the woman into her apartment and called 911.
Police say there have been three other cases of groping in the area that may be related to this case.
The suspect is described as a thin black male, around 5’10” tall. The earlier groping cases report the suspect may be between the ages of 18 and 29 years old.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Seattle Police Department’s Sexual Assault Unit at (206) 684-5575.
