Miami - A 76-year-old man claiming to be a doctor went door-to-door in a Florida neighbourhood offering free breast exams, and was charged with sexually assaulting two women who accepted the offer, police said on Thursday.

One woman became suspicious after the man asked her to remove all her clothes and began conducting a purported genital exam without donning rubber gloves, investigators said.

The woman then phoned the Broward County Sheriff's Office and the suspect fled.

He was arrested at another woman's apartment in the same Lauderdale Lakes neighbourhood on Wednesday, a sheriff's spokesperson said.

The white-haired suspect, Philip Winikoff, carried a black bag and claimed to be visiting on behalf of a local hospital.
