Detectives say they are investigating whether there may have been multiple incidents involving the same man.

Ventura County Sheriff’s detectives say they’ve arrested an Oxnard man for sexually assaulting a fellow passenger on a bus.

The attack occurred on Friday on a bus headed to Ventura from Camarillo.

A 37-year-old woman reported it to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators reviewed passenger records and video from an onboard surveillance camera. They identified a frequent bus rider as a suspect. Miguel Angel Salgado Rodriguez was arrested Sunday at a Ventura bus stop.

Detectives say they found evidence linking him to the reported sexual assault. They're also investigating whether there were potentially other incidents involving the 49-year-old man.
