The attacks had a 'sexual element' to them, said police commander Steven Lurie, who declined to provide further information.
One of the victims spoke to The Times from a hospital, recovering from at least eight fractures to her jaw, a large laceration to the back of the head, and contusions on her face and neck.
The victim expressed plans to arm herself with pepper spray or maybe get a dog as an added layer of protection.
The first attack took place at 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, when a woman was approached from behind and struck with a hard object, knocking her unconscious.
