Police have released two images of the suspect – who they want to question about the crimes.

He is described as being five foot five inches tall, with grey hair and aged 60-70 years old. He is seen wearing a jacket and a black and white hat.

PC Lynn Capewell said: “As with any sexual offence, we will ensure the victims receive any support they need following these incidents.

“The CCTV images have been shared with Bath officers who are out on patrol in the city centre to try to help our enquiries.

“We are also asking the public to look at the pictures we are releasing and to call us on 101 if they recognise this man, quoting reference number 5222228862.”
