Woman fights off attacker in Rotorua
Police are
appealing for information about the assault of a woman in
Rotorua last night (Saturday, 2 May) that is believed to
have been sexually motivated.
The incident occurred between 6.30pm and 6.50pm as the woman in her 30s walked along Wharenui Road, between Te Ngae and Reeves Roads.
She was grabbed from behind and pushed to the ground.
She blacked out briefly, but then fought her attacker and screamed, causing him to run off.
The offender is described as a male Maori aged in his mid to late teens. He is a skinny build with a long thin face and no facial hair. He is likely to have a scratch or injury to his face as a result of the victim fighting back.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Rotorua Police on 07 348 0099.
Information can also be provided anonymously to the organisation Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
