City of London Police have released this CCTV image of their suspect, wearing a distinctive San Francisco 49ers baseball-style cap of the American Football team.
A female pedestrian was confronted at 8.05am outside the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey by a man, who was holding a beer bottle and shouting at her.
He demanded she hand over her mobile phone and was intimidated into doing this.
A short time later the same man was in nearby Little Britain, where he stole a Santander hire bike from a cyclist.
While riding the bike between Leather Lane and Holborn Circus at 8.25am he grabbed another female pedestrian's bottom over her clothing.
Acting Detective Inspector Hannah Sydney, of the City of London Police’s Public Protection Unit said: “We are working hard to track down the man in these photos, but we are appealing for the public’s help as we believe there may have been witnesses to these incidents.
“We want to reassure anyone visiting the City that we are conducting a full and thorough investigation into what happened as we want people to feel safe when they visit the City.
“The suspect is described as a white man aged between 30 to 40 years-old, with short hair and he was wearing a red cap and casual blue clothing at the time of the incidents.
“If you have any information on this individual, please do get in touch. Any details, no matter how small, could prove significant in helping us track him down.”
