Elvis Nina Pichardo, 40, was arrested in connection with the three attacks on women at the Inwood Hill Park on Wednesday
A man who has been arrested for allegedly attacking three women in the span of one hour in an Upper Manhattan park had only been out of prison for a matter of weeks after serving time for a similar attack in 2007, according to reports.
Elvis Nina Pichardo, 40, was arrested on Friday, after allegedly threatening to sexually assault two women at the Inwood Hill Park on Wednesday, and hitting another woman with a tree branch while 'continually slamming her head into the ground,' according to the New York Post.
He allegedly tried to pull down her pants to rape her, according to police.
Later that night, he entered a medical spa and was told to leave, after which he is allegedly to have returned, exposed himself and 'desecrated the front door,' according to ABC 7.
Pichardo was arraigned on Saturday, on attempted rape, attempted criminal sexual act, sexually-motivated assault, menacing, robbery and public lewdness charges.
But this is not the first time Pichardo has been arrested for a sexual attack.
In 2007, he was arrested in Waco, Texas for randomly targeting an 18-year-old girl, threatening her and then attacking her.
He was reportedly carrying a box-cutter at the time, and was charged with aggravated kidnaping and sexual abuse.
Pichardo was convicted in 2008 of the crime, and was released from prison on May 6, according to the Post.
He was living in the Bronx at the time of the attacks on Wednesday, and was originally arrested on a separate public lewdness charge in Chinatown.

Pichardo was seen walking out of a court house following his arraignment Saturday
The attacks in Manhattan on Wednesday began around 10.50am, when a man, now alleged to be Pichardo, approached a 24-year-old woman and punched her in the face saying he wanted to rape her.
'I want to take you into the park and rape you,' he told the woman, according to the New York Daily News. 'I have a condom.'
The suspect allegedly took the woman's Apple watch, iPhone and earbuds before fleeing the scene.
Hardly 40 minutes later, a man threatened to kill a 40-year-old woman's dog as she walked the pup in Inwood Hill Park. Like the first incident, the man also threatened to sexually assault her before running away after she yelled out for help, cops said.
Then just before noon, a 44-year-old woman was walking her dog when a man tried to talk to her before smacking her in the face with a branch, causing her to lose
