Lakewood Police are asking for the public's help in finding a man who may be a suspect in three different sexual assaults.

One of the attacks happened at about 7 p.m. Tuesday, when a woman was walking to her car in the 7600 block of West Colfax Avenue.

The man sexually assaulted the woman, but the woman was eventually able to fight the man away. He then fled in a blue minivan.

Just 20 minutes later a man in a similar vehicle followed another woman in the 1900 block of South Kipling Parkway.

The man attacked the second woman, but she was able to spray him with pepper spray and escape.

Lakewood Police are investigating the possibility that the two attacks may be related to a similar attack that happened last week.

In that attack, a man driving a gold Plymouth Laser or Mitsubishi Eclipse on Dec. 10 in the 9000 block of West Dartmouth Avenue crashed into a woman's vehicle.

When the woman got out of her vehicle, the man sexually assaulted her.

The suspect is described as a white or light-skinned Hispanic in his 30s. He is described as being about 5 feet, 5 inches to 5 feet, 8 inches tall with a medium build, short dark blond or light brown hair and heavy acne.

The man may have scratches or injuries to his face and eyes from the assaults this week.

The minivan used in the two Tuesday attacks is described as a blue, early 2000s model Ford Windstar or Dodge Caravan.

The gold Plymouth Laser in the Dec. 10 incident is described as having no front plate, a cracked windshield and old body damage on the front driver's side.

Anyone with questions or information about these attacks is asked to call Detective Bryan Feik at 303-987-7536.
