Possibly the gas man from mid-January? http://the-riotact.com/beware-the-false-gas-man/63911

What similarities are there apart from them both being Asian (and they don’t even appear to be of the same ethnic sub-group)??
Disclaimer: I am white, so perhaps my cross-racial identification is not good.
Twice in a fortnight an Asian man over 30, acting alone, has committed a daytime assault on a solo adult female but hasn’t stolen anything. I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out to be the same bloke.
From the gas man thread: “The man is described as Asian in appearance with an Australian accent, between 50 and 55 years of age, 5’5” (165cm) tall, stocky build and dark hair with a receding hairline”
Above: “The man is described as Asian in appearance, aged between 30–40 years, approximately 5’ 10” (178cm) tall with a medium build. He has dark eyes and dark hair with acne scars on his cheeks.”
Pretty long bow imo…
… they shouldn’t have too much trouble tracking down a bloke called Long Bow

Especially since hes pretty. How many Native Americans in Canberra??
It is possible they are the same guy. although one was in south canberra and one in north. then if you were going to assault someone you wouldn’t do it near where you lived. Witnesses can have a tendency to over estimate there attacker especially when they do a lot of damage. so that could account for the height difference, also Asians age tend to be hard to guess, not to mention some peoples estimation of age can be incredibly wrong. though none of this shows that they are defiantly the same person, the only way to do that is with solid evidence.

What are the chances that this Asian dude is having the same difficulty trying to identify a specific white female that he is miffed with?
