Eyewitness News reporter NJ Burkett is following this story.

Watch your back. This is the advice to Asian women in New York City from the NYPD Saturday -- three women, three attacks, and one crazed man with a knife.

"It's frightening," an Asian woman said.

Women we spoke with had no idea but over the past six weeks a stalker has been walking the streets of Manhattan targeting Asian women at random - slashing them across the right forearm in broad daylight.

The latest attack was on the afternoon of August 17th. The other two were on July 16th, in the morning and afternoon.

The first attack was in mid July on 32nd Street in midtown and then the same day in Chinatown. The latest, a week ago, was just barely two blocks away.

The victims were not seriously hurt but the motive is entirely unknown.

The police released a composite sketch of the suspect. He is described by the victims as an African-American man 25 to 30 years old, thin, and 5 8" to 5 11". He wears a light gray sweat shirt with the numbers 09 on the back.

"I'm going to be careful walking the streets," said other Asian woman. "I'm not going to change my routine just for a guy like this."

The victims all range in age from their early 30s to their mid 40s. Police say two of the women were taken to hospitals in stable condition, while the other had only a minor cut.

Police have no idea what this guy is capable of and when he might strike again.
