DeKalb County police have released a sketch of a man they say is wanted for groping two women at two different bus stops.

Police said the first incident occurred Sept. 6 around 7:30 a.m., while the second happened two days later at about 6:30 a.m. According to authorities, both took place along Panola Road near South Stone Mountain-Lithonia Road and Redan Road.

Police describe him as possibly a light-skinned Black or Hispanic man with a curly Afro. Authorities added that he weighs between 175 and 200 pounds and stands about 5-foot-8. He was seen driving a blue, four-door sedan, police said.

DeKalb police are asking anyone with information about the man to call 911 or 770-724-7710.
