Three women have been assaulted near the Vienna Metro station in the past week, and Fairfax County police said yesterday they think the same man was involved in each attack.

All three women were accosted in or around Nottaway Park, about a quarter-mile northwest of the station, police said. The assailant tried to pull down their shorts or groped them before running away when the women screamed. Two of the assaults took place Thursday, and one took place Sunday, police said.
