One of the incidents involved two women being assaulted, and another involved the man making “inappropriate sexual comments”.
Investigators on Monday asked for information from the public after receiving the first report on October 1, leading to four other women coming forward from three separate alleged assaults.
Police have since established Strike Force Mexvo with assistance from the State Crime Command’s Sex Crimes Squad to investigate the incidents.
As part of those investigations, police have released CCTV images of a man they believe can help with inquiries.
