Police are trying to determine whether there are any connections between an attack on a girl as she walked to her school bus stop and similar sexual assaults in May.
A man on Wednesday approached a 14-year-old Hines Middle School student from behind, made sexual comments and pulled her between two houses. The man was scared off when a neighbor, alerted by barking dogs, stepped outside to check on the noise.
Parents expressed fear and outrage after Wednesday's attack and worried that a man who sexually assaulted up to a dozen girls in the same neighborhood three years ago had returned to the streets.
