The man allegedly grabbed two women from behind on Wednesday night as they were leaving the Central Square subway station.

He is also suspected of exposing himself on an MBTA bus near Codman Square in Boston's Dorchester section and on a Route 501 bus near Brighton High School.

The MBTA Transit Police Department and the Cambridge Police Department released pictures of the man they believe is responsible for the incidents.

The man is described as a clean-shaven black male, between 18 and 24 years old and between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall. Police believe he was wearing a white puffy jacket and black knit cap.

Those with any information about the suspect or the incidents are asked to call the MBTA Transit Police Department at 617-222-1050 or the Cambridge Police Department at 617-349-3370.
