Police investigate indecent assault at Merriwa

On Tuesday 23rd April 2019, a woman in her 40’s was walking around Dunmore Park in Merriwa with a female walking friend.

At approximately 6.25pm the victim and her friend were walking on a footpath parallel to Marmion Avenue between Suva Glade and Greyhound Drive.

The victim noticed that a man was following behind them for a few minutes. She was waiting for the man to walk past, however, he didn’t. The male has then indecently assaulted the victim before running across Marmion Avenue towards Littleham Park, Quinns Rocks.
