Police say the suspect made racial comments, then became aggressive toward her, but a transit employee intervened and the man left before any assault occurred.
The second attack took place just over an hour later along Whyte Avenue, a popular pedestrian street, where a 27-year-old woman wearing a burqa was walking alone on the sidewalk.
Police say a man ran across the road, stopped in front of the woman, blocked her path and yelled insults at her before he crossed the street again.
The woman thought he was gone so she kept walking, but police say he came up behind her, pushed her to the ground and made threats to kill her and tear off her burqa.
