Texas police are hunting a man who tried to kidnap four women within the span of five days amid fears he could strike again. 

The suspect - who is Hispanic and aged somewhere between 25 and 40 - first pounced on a 60-year-old woman in downtown Galveston on September 20. 

According to the victim, the man got out of his car and approached her shortly after 9 pm, prompting her to flee on foot. 

The woman was able to make it back to the safety of her nearby apartment, but the suspect began circling the block continuing to look for her. 

The victim was able to snap a photo of the man's vehicle from her window, which she handed over to police. 

Investigators say the man was driving a maroon 2010 Honda Accord with a child's seat in the back. 

Investigators released this photo of the man's vehicle, which was taken by his first attempted victim on September 20. They say the car is a 2010 Honda Accord with a child seat in the back

Less than an hour later, the offender struck again, just several blocks away from the site of the first attempted abduction. 

The suspect pulled over in his car and asked a 45-year-old woman for directions. He then got out of the vehicle, grabbed the woman, and attempted to push her inside. 

The woman managed to run off, but not before the suspect tackled her to the ground. 

At that point, she screamed loudly, prompting the man to return to his vehicle and speed off. 

Five days later, on September 25, the suspect is believed to have struck again. 

A similar looking man in a near-identical vehicle stopped and approached a man and two women all aged in their twenties. 

The suspect allegedly told the trio that he 'just wanted the girls', before a fight ensued and he fled back to his car. 

'Repeated attempts in short amount of time is a scary aspect to me ... and very aggressive,' Galveston Police Detective Michelle Sollenberger told KHOU 11 on Tuesday. 

The attacks all occurred after dark in the bustling downtown Galveston area

The police have now released a composite sketch of the suspect based on descriptions from the victims. 

The man is believed to be between 5ft 3in to 5ft 5in tall, and is slim but muscular. 

The incidents have left both locals and visitors rattled.  

'To be afraid to come outside, because someone's going to grab you is disgusting,' one local told ABC 13.

A visitor the area concurred. 

'It's very scary. It makes you think about, worry about trafficking that kind of thing."

Inside Paedophile Island: Incredible pictures show Jeffrey Epstein cavorting with scantily clad young women where he provided gourmet food and beauty lotions and spent hours watching topless teens in Girls Gone Wild 'for inspiration'

Jeffrey Epstein spent an hour of his day watching explicit episodes of Girls Gone Wild while working out and cavorting with nubile young women at his private Caribbean island, as seen in these photos exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com. The perverted financier, who committed suicide at age 66 in August 2019, would ride his exercise bike as he watched the X-rated footage -featuring bare-breasted college girls - because it was 'inspiration' for him, a source who spent time on the island told DailyMail.com. Epstein, who reportedly demanded sex three times a day, was transfixed by the graphic videos that showed young women flashing their breasts to the camera in bars and nightclubs.   New details of his sinister life have further been exposed in never-before-seen photographs of his private island Little St James, which was dubbed 'pedophile' and 'orgy' island by disgusted locals. Epstein appears in the series of images surrounded by nubile young women, including s...
