Man wanted, accused in 2 sexual assaults in north Houston earlier this month

Houston police said the same suspect sexually assaulted two women in the same area within a few days earlier this month.

HOUSTON — Houston police are searching for a man who they said is responsible for at least two aggravated sexual assaults and aggravated robberies.

One of the incidents happened on Sept. 12 around 9:30 p.m. at an apartment complex on Imperial Valley and Aldine Bender.

According to police, the suspect approached a woman and demanded her phone and wallet at gunpoint. He then allegedly put her in a headlock until she almost passed out. He also sexually assaulted her, police said.

A witness intervened, but the suspect ran and got away.

KHOU 11 News reporter Amanda Henderson spoke to the alleged victim in the case. She was very shaken up and still recovering from the traumatic experience. She said she wants justice.

Neighbors at her apartment complex are also on edge in the wake of the attacks.

"I really hope the guy actually gets caught and brought to justice," Aaron Easter said.

He said he had lived at the apartment complex for years and had never seen anything like that before.

The victim said she's struggling to sleep after being robbed of cash and her phone at gunpoint.

The same suspect is believed to be responsible for a similar incident on Sept. 9. That incident happened at an apartment complex just a few blocks away from the other incident.

He's accused of pointing a gun at a woman and sexually assaulting her.

Anyone with information about the man's identity is asked to call Crime Stoppers.

The Houston Police Department Robbery Division released this video showing the suspect:
