The two were confronted by the blonde-haired pervert as they strolled along a path.

The 6ft man stepped out of bushes close to Ladies Mile before commiting an obscene act.

Yesterday (Tuesday) police issued a warning to lone women not to walk in the area.

Monday's attack follows two similar incidents last month.

Two weeks ago a woman was confronted by a man who exposed himself before carrying out an obscene act.

And a man fitting the same description exposed himself to another woman walker three weeks earlier.

"Due to the incidents taking place in the same location and a similar description of the person given we're looking into the possibility of a link between them," a Cheshire police spokesman said.

The man is slim, 6ft with short blond hair. He was wearing a black baggy top and blue jeans.

Any member of the public, who has information or has witnessed anyone acting suspiciously in the area, is being asked to contact Knutsford police on 633404.
