On Sunday, a 23-year-old woman was sexually assaulted around 2 a.m. in the on the 3200-block of West Palmer Street, police said.

The victim was attacked and assaulted inside a car before the suspect ran away, police said.

“Hearing about the recent events that have gone on the past two months have raised our eyebrows and made us a little bit more concerned,” Logan Square said Gina Morrison said.

The other three assaults happened at the following locations and times, according to CPD:

• 3400 block of West Armitage Avenue on January 14 at 9:30 a.m.
• 2800 block of West Bloomindale Avenue on January 18 at 3:10 a.m.

Two of the crimes happened on a sidewalk, and one crime happened in the hallway of an apartment building, police said.

“I make sure I’ve got only one headphone in, especially when it’s dark out. I only go to well-lit areas, especially when I’m walking my dog and then minimize my time in areas I don’t know, as well,” neighbor Ian Champ said.

In the Armitage attack, the suspect is described as a man between 20 and 30, with dark eyes, black hair, a thin build and a possible accent.

He is about 5-feet, 4-inches tall, police said.

No one was in custody as Chicago police continue to investigate the crimes.
