It has been confirmed that the attempted sexual assault near Pennypack Park Tuesday is connected to two previous attacks.

Police are trying to determine if the man is connected to even more attacks. He is described as being white, in his 30s to 40s with blond or light brown hair, and just more than six feet tall.
