POLICE patrols have been stepped up in a Borders town after two attacks on women.
Detectives are trying to establish whether the same man is responsible for both incidents, which happened within five days in Peebles.
On Saturday, a 41-year-old woman was walking along a footpath by Dovecot Road when a man grabbed her and tried to pull her backwards.
