Maidenhead Det Con Ian Watkinson, leading the investigation, said: “At this time we are keeping an open mind as to whether the two incidents are linked. I am appealing to anyone who may have seen a man matching the above descriptions, saw anyone suspicious in the areas around the time of the assaults or heard either of the women call out to contact me or Crimestoppers.
“I would like to reassure the community of Maidenhead that incidents like this are rare and we have stepped up patrols to reassure residents. Although this type of incident is rare, I would advise women not to walk alone late at night to prevent themselves becoming a victim of this type of crime.”
