A predatory attacker waited in laneways for his victims during a two-hour sex crime spree in Melbourne.
The man targeted lone women in a series of escalating attacks early last Sunday, detective inspector Stephen Wilson said on Friday.
'There's some indication he was hanging around laneways, some predatory behaviour there, almost waiting for his victim to appear,' detective inspector Wilson said.
'There is some predatory behaviour there, he was awaiting his prey.'
He said the man grabbed each of the women from behind and the offending escalated at each assault.
