COPS is urgently hunting for a man linked to two horrific sexual assaults – as they warn the public not to get close to him.

Detective Sergeant Faye Satchwell-Bennett said he also wanted to commit another sexual assault last year.

Bogdan is described as Caucasian, 5ft 8in tall, of average build, with cropped black hair and a black beard, also wanted for not answering bail.

DS Satchwell-Bennett said officers’ groups have ‘actively pursued multiple investigations to locate this man and now want to appeal to the public for help’.

She added: “I would urge anyone who knows his whereabouts, or any members of the public who see him, not to go near him but to call the police immediately.

“I also directly urge this individual to surrender.”

Anyone with information about his whereabouts should call 999, citing incident 70 of January 29.

Alternatively, if they are concerned about their naming, they can anonymously call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
