MORE men have come forward to tell police in York they were accosted by a woman who asked them for sex.

The Evening Press reported yesterday how a man had been walking his dog along a path off Water Lane, in York, when he was approached by the woman, who called herself Jane.

She warned him not to go any further as the path was flooded but then asked him if he "liked fun" and asked if he wanted to have sex with her.

When he spurned her advances, the woman, who also had a dog with her, tried to drag him into a bush. He managed to struggle free and escape.

Police said today they had received five more calls from men reporting similar incidents in the same area involving a woman answering the same description.

Inquiries are continuing to trace the woman and police have said they are worried about her actions.

"We are concerned for this woman's welfare as she is putting herself at great risk by her actions," said Sergeant Colin Ventress, of York police.

He said the incidents that callers reported had happened over the last four weeks.

The latest incident happened at about 6pm on Sunday.

The woman was described as being aged in her thirties, with mousy brown hair cut in a bowl style and a spotty complexion.

She was wearing glasses and a blue and white tracksuit.

Meanwhile, a man exposed himself to a woman on nearby Scarborough Bridge at about 6.30 last night.

She had been pushing her bicycle up the ramp on the bridge when a man heading the other way across the bridge pulled down his trousers and exposed himself. The shocked woman ran over the bridge and, as she looked back, the man exposed himself again.
