A SEX offender has tried to assault a woman in inner Melbourne, the third such attack in the same suburb in a week.

In the latest incident, a woman was grabbed from behind by an unknown man who tried to sexually assault her in Hope Street, Brunswick, about 8pm Friday (AEST), police say.

A passer-by disturbed the offender and he ran away.

The attack comes after two similar attacks that occurred minutes apart last weekend in Brunswick, the same suburb where Jill Meagher was snatched from the street, and later murdered, in 2012.

But police say it is too early to link the latest attack to the other two, in which a man grabbed each woman from behind and dragged them down side streets.

Police said one woman, 22, had left a hotel and was walking along Sydney Road about 2.20am Saturday when the man grabbed her and dragged her to a side street.

She managed to break free and flagged down a friend who was driving past in a taxi.

The same man then tackled another 22-year-old woman from behind and wrestled her to the ground on nearby Charles Street. She was also able to break free and run away.

The offender told one of the women he was homeless and it was the first time he'd done anything like it, police say.

Both the women fought back when they were attacked.
