DALLAS (CBSDFW) - Dallas Police say they're hunting a suspected serial predator.
27-year-old Samuel Jamall White is charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault, after he was identified in video at two different crime scenes.
The latest charge is for an attack at the Walnut Hill DART station in September.
Video released by the Dallas Police Department show him arriving and leaving.
Deputy Chief Rob Sherwin says a security camera also caught him beating his victim.
"He looks like a lot of normal people you'd see around here. So that's scary. That's really scary," said a DART customer, who asked only to be identified as Terri.
Dallas police say the video is very similar to one captured last week, after White allegedly raped a woman in her Northeast Dallas apartment.
Sherwin notes White even appears to be wearing the same outfit in the two videos, taken months apart.
"These pictures look exactly identical. The same shoes, the same shorts, the same shirt. It looks just like him. The same bald spot," he said.
Police have enlisted the help of the U.S. Marshals' FAST team in catching White.
Neighbors say the quiet man lived with his mother in a south Dallas apartment until earlier this month when the two moved out.
White's criminal history includes convictions for drug possession, trespassing, and resisting arrest, but nothing violent.
Still, police say they want to catch and question him to see if how many other crimes he may be responsible for.
"It's clear now that he may be a serial predator. That's why I'm standing in front of you trying to get the public's attention," said Sherwin.
Dallas Police have not officially linked White to attacks on two women at apartment complexes Friday night, but say video caught a very similar looking man in the area.
