Large-scale investigations are underway in the Grenoble metropolis to determine whether eight incidents recently recorded are the work of a single man. The events allegedly took place over the last two months in three districts: Saint-Bruno, Saint-Martin-d'Hères, and Catania.

The man allegedly attacks isolated young women after dark, when they return from work or from the evening. A few days ago, a woman was attacked in her building lobby but managed to scare away her attacker by alerting the neighbors.
