SAPPORO -- A mystery attacker has been spraying bleach or a similar liquid on the skirts and trousers of women in central Sapporo, leaving embarrassing marks on their clothing, it has been learned.

A total of 15 attacks have occurred in subway stations, underground shopping centers and other areas since March, police said. Forty-four similar attacks were reported between May and July last year, but the perpetrator has not yet been apprehended. Police suspect a single person is responsible.
