West Yorkshire Police have arrested a 20-year-old man following allegations of three serious sexual assaults in the Hyde Park area of Leeds.

The assaults are alleged to have taken place in Woodhouse Moor, Leeds in the early hours of Thursday, 2 October. Three women then reported the incident to Police, who think that the assaults are linked.

Detective Inspector Jenny Phillips, of Leeds Adult Safeguarding Unit, said: “We understand the concern that these offences have caused, and I would like to reassure members of the public that we have been making extensive enquiries over the past week.  

“We have also been supported by our neighbourhood policing colleagues who continue to provide a visible presence in the Hyde Park area.

“A man has now been arrested; however, we would continue to urge anyone who has any information that could assist our ongoing investigation to please make contact.”  

The suspect remains in custody.
