About 3.30am (Thursday 20 March 2025), a 36-year-old woman caught a bus to Neutral Bay after finishing work.
While walking down Wycombe Road, the woman was grabbed from behind by a man who covered her mouth, interfered with her clothing and pushed her against a nearby garage door.
The man – described as being of Caucasian appearance – pinned her against the door before removing his pants. The woman was able to kick and bite the man before he fled on foot towards Military Road.
