A young woman staying at a city backpackers was attacked last night as she returned to her lodgings.
About 10pm the twenty year old was walking down Gloucester Street between Stanmore Road and Fitzgerald Ave when she noticed a male outside an address close to where she was heading. As she passed him he undid the zip on his pants exposed himself so she walked faster. As she tried to open the door to the backpackers he groped her from behind but ran off when she screamed.
He's described as male, Caucasian, who spoke English with a kiwi accent, about 175cm tall, medium build with black hair with blonde streaks. He was wearing a black puffer jacket, jeans and is probably in his twenties.
Anyone who can give any information on this male or who may have suffered similar incident in the area please contact Detective Constable Donavan Aitken, phone 363 7426.
