Man yelling abuse assaults woman, pulling her hair
Police are looking for a man in his 50s after a woman was indecently assaulted in Melbourne’s north last month.
A 29-year-old woman was walking along the Merri Creek trail in Brunswick East just after 5pm on July 9 when a man allegedly yelled abuse at her before indecently assaulting the victim and pulling her hair.
Victoria Police have released an image of a man described as Caucasian, about 177cm tall with a medium build and short, light brown hair, who may be able to assist with their inquiries.
Police says he was wearing “a black windcheater, with faded black jeans and street sneakers”.
