The second happened on April 11 around 8 a.m. In that incident, police said he attacked a 19-year-old woman in the driveway of a private home near Remsen Avenue and Farragut Road.
The third happened later that day just after 8 p.m. In that incident, police said he raped a 15-year-old girl on the sixth floor of a building near Midwood Street and Schenectady Avenue.
