Vicious attack leaves homeless woman with shoe imprint on her face
Queensland Police are determined to find a man suspected of viciously assaulted a homeless woman, breaking her nose, eye sockets and leaving her with a shoe imprint on her face.
A couple passing by bushland near the St Ives shopping centre in Goodna near Ipswich, south of Brisbane, found the 49-year-old with serious facial injuries on April 12.
Police have released security camera footage of a man who was seen talking to the woman, who appears to be homeless, less than an hour before she was found badly beaten.
CCTV shows a man approaching the woman who is seated near the Smiths Road shopping centre, and entering a conversation with her earlier in the evening.

About half an hour later, the footage shows the pair walking off together about 6.45pm.
The woman was found about 45 minutes later with facial injuries, including a broken nose, split lip, fractured eye sockets and bruising. She also had an imprint on her cheek believed to be from the sole of a shoe, leading police to suspect she had been stomped on.
Police believe the man captured on the footage may be able to help with their investigation and are appealing for him or anyone who may recognise him to come forward.
