COPS are urgently hunting a man in connection with two horror sex attacks – as they warn the public not to approach him.

Rape and Serious Sexual Offences Detective Sergeant Faye Satchwell-Bennett said he’s also wanted for another sex attack last year.

Bogdan is described as being white, 5ft 8in tall, of a medium build, with cropped black hair and a black beard, is also wanted for failing to answer bail.

DS Satchwell-Bennett said teams of officers have been ‘actively pursuing numerous lines of enquiry to locate this man and would now like to appeal to the public for help’.

She added: “I would urge anyone who knows his whereabouts, or any member of the public who sees him, not to approach him but to call police immediately.

“I also appeal directly to this individual to come forward and hand himself in.”

Anyone with information on his whereabouts should call 999, quoting incident 70 of 29 January.

Alternatively, if they are nervous about giving their name, they can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
