Boy, 14, arrested over sex attacks on FIVE lone women in Leeds
A 14-YEAR-OLD boy has been arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting five different women in Leeds.
They were attacked in the Little London, Headingley and Woodhouse areas of the city over the last two weeks - sparking fears a sexual predator was on the loose.
All of the attacks involved a similarly-described male and cops have now made an arrest.
In the most recent attack, a 55-year-old woman was sexually assaulted at 6.15pm on Thursday night in Little London.
She told the attacker she was calling the police and the young man fled the scene.
The first incident unfolded at 5pm on February 3 when a 29-year-old woman was sexually assaulted on Grosvenor Hill, Woodhouse.
Then at 5.10pm on February 4, a 19-year-old woman was sitting at a bus stop in Headingley when a young man sexually assaulted her.
The following day at 7pm, a 30-year-old woman was walking towards Little London.
