Police have released a sketch of a man accused of sexually assaulting two young girls in Manhattan.

According to police, the man followed a 12-year-old girl into a building on West 15th Street in Chelsea last Thursday and forced her to touch him.

Police believe the same man was involved in a similar attack on a 12-year-old girl in TriBeCa in November of 2007.

The man is described as well dressed, in his 20s or 30s, about 6 feet tall and 190 pounds with brown hair.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-577-TIPS, by texting TIP577 to CRIMES, or by going to NYPDCrimeStoppers.com.
