Police are warning young women to be extra vigilant.
Police in Belfast are warning young women to be vigilant after three were stabbed by a masked man in the city last night.
Two other women were also punched in "frightening random attacks" over the course of two hours.
They're still trying to track down the man, who wore dark clothing and was cycling a mountain bike.
The victims were all between the ages of 19 and 22, and Chief Superintendent Simon Walls says they need to be on the alert:
