Pittsburgh Police are investigating several reports of sexual assaults on the city's North Side that investigators say could be connected with a potential repeat offender. Police issued an alert Wednesday night to inform the community about the series of reported assaults.

Pittsburgh police on Friday said the string of sexual assaults they’re investigating on the North Side occurred overnight this summer around the East Ohio Street business district. Police previously had not publicly narrowed down the location or divulged the timing of the assaults.
