New footage has emerged showing the Sydney Prowler lurking through a building during a terrifying crime spree.
A major manhunt continues for the man who robbed and attacked multiple women within several hours in Sydney's west on Wednesday, amid police fears he will strike again.
NSW Police have released new vision showing the man's face during his crime spree as he roamed through a building, checking if any doors are unlocked in a corridor.
He opened a door appearing to use his sleeve to ensure no fingerprints were left on the handle.
He then exited the building and jogged across the street.
Police were called by multiple members of the public about a man trespassing on properties in the Northmead area.
A motive for the attacks has yet to be confirmed but police believe the man is specifically targeting isolated women.
Police have urged all women travelling on foot to stick to major roads and told anyone who might be approached by him to not resist.
'Property can be replaced, your safety is of the utmost,' Superintendent Barry Vincent said.
The man was first caught on camera at about 4am Wednesday as he robbed a number of properties in Northmead near Parramatta.
An hour later at 5.10am, the same man carjacked a Mitsubishi Outlander SUV as its female owner, 37, bought fuel at the servo on Windsor Road in nearby North Rocks.
He then used the car as he attacked three women, police say.
Officers claim the man first assaulting a 47-year-old woman from behind on the nearby Mons Road at about 5.20am.
She tripped over as she tried to flee, with the assailant making off with her handbag.
A 19-year-old woman called police at 5.40am after a figure - believed to be the same man - pulled a knife on her on Junia Avenue in Toongabbie.
After a short struggle he stole her bag too and drove off in the stolen SUV, police allege.
At about 5.55am, a 27-year-old woman was attacked with a hammer in North Parramatta.
'The woman has handed the man her purse and mobile phone ... and (he) left the scene driving the SUV,' police said.
The woman's family tracked her phone and found the man at a nearby home but before they could confront him he smashed their car windscreen with the hammer.
One of the women's relatives, a 27-year-old man, was then attacked before the prowler escaped.
The stolen SUV was found nearby and is now being forensically examined.
Police riot officers and sniffer dogs are now searching for the man.
'I describe this as particularly cowardly, just targeting women walking alone, in the early hours, from behind,' Superintendent Vincent said.
'While we weren't able to come across this offender during the morning, it is of concern to us that the offending continues.'
The ensuing chaos of the police search led to Christ the King Primary School in North Rocks to be briefly locked down as officers hunted for the offender nearby but failed to track him down.
There are now fears that the man may have been responsible for a series of break-ins in the area last weekend- raising fears he will strike again.
The man is described as being of medium build and in his 20s. He was last seen wearing all black, including a beanie, balaclava, gloves and Nike hoodie.
Police say people should not approach him and should instead call the police if they see him.
