ORLANDO, Fla. – Orlando police need help finding two men they say were involved in separate attacks near Lake Eola last month.

  • Police looking for two suspects in separate attacks near Lake Eola
  • Suspects identified as Michael Scarlett II and James Calixte
  • Police say both men are considered very dangerous

Michael Scarlett II, 28, has been identified as the suspect in the October 9 incident at a home on Cathcart Avenue.

Authorites said a woman was out walking her dog and was on her way back inside her home when Scarlett covered her mouth and tried to push his way inside. The suspect took off when the woman screamed. 

James Calixte, 36, is suspected of sexually battering a woman near her East Jefferson Street home on October 26.

Authorities said Calixte was dressed in all black with a bandana over his face and forced the victim to the side of her house where he sexually battered her. 

Police say both men are considered very dangerous.

"The longer they remain out there, then there's always that potential that they may strike again," Orlando Police Chief Orlando Rolón said during a news conference Saturday.

Police say the two cases are not connected. 

Anyone with information about either suspect is asked to call Crimeline at 407-423-8477.
