York regional police have linked a 28-year-old man — arrested for a sexual assault in Georgina — with four other sexual assaults dating back to 2015.

Shortly after 9 p.m. on June 20, the man allegedly followed a 39-year-old woman as she was walking on a street in Georgina and grabbed her in a sexual manner. He ran away and removed his hooded sweatshirt at the same time.

Police said they arrested the man and, through further investigation, linked him to unsolved sexual assaults in the area of Upper Canada Mall in Newmarket in August and September of 2015.

He allegedly grabbed the buttocks of three other victims and pushed a fourth to the ground and tried to remove her clothes.
