{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Deputies in Florida are urging people to be vigilant after a series of sexual assaults at bus stops recently.
Around 6 a.m. Saturday, a man wearing a mask armed with a gun approached a woman at the bus stop on North Hiawassee Road at Hennepin Boulevard in Orlando and sexually assaulted her, Orange County deputies said.
The attack comes three weeks after a similar incident nearby at a bus stop on Hiawassee Road and River Oaks Drive. In that case, deputies said a man wearing a mask dressed head to toe in black demanded money from two women prior to sexually assaulting them.
