Officials are searching for a serial butt-grabber at Florida International University in Miami-Dade County.

A woman reported that someone on a bicycle grabbed her backside as she walked near the Green Library on Sunday night, university police said.

The Miami Herald reports school officials have been searching for the butt-grabber since last year after several women reporting being groped on campus. The first incidents occurred last June. The butt-grabber struck again in September.

Police have asked everyone on campus to remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings. They've asked anyone to call university police if they see anything suspicious.

The suspect could face up to one year in jail for each count if convicted.
