Hamilton police are alerting the public about a SUV driver at large who allegedly targeted women in two separate incidents on Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
Investigators say the first incident happened Oct. 21 around 2 a.m. and involved a “female in distress” call near Dunsmure Road after a woman accepted a ride from the man.
“While parked near Adeline Avenue and Dunsmure Road, the male became aggressive and pulled out a steel pipe and threatened to beat her with it,” police said in a release.
“The woman managed to escape the vehicle and fled on foot through the parking lot yelling for help.”

Detectives believe earlier reports of a suspicious person near Lawrence and Mount Albion roads may be the same man.
In that incident, a female also accepted a ride from a man in what was described as dark-coloured Jeep.
“The woman became fearful after seeing the male holding a knife in his lap,” Investigators said.
“The woman got out of the car after the male ordered her to exit when he approached a Hamilton Police RIDE lane.”
