Police are appealing for information following the assault of a woman in Perth.

The incident occurred around around 9pm on Saturday, 6th August, 2022 when a 47-year-old woman was walking by the viewpoint in Western Edge Park, Fittis Road, when she was approached by a man who grabbed her arm.

The man is described as being in his late 50s, around 5ft 9in in height, of slim build, with short grey hair. He was wearing a blue checked shirt, a black waist length jacket and dark jeans and was walking a black Labrador dog.

Constable Tammi Horton said: "Fortunately the woman was not injured as a result of this incident but was left understandably shaken.

“I am appealing to anyone who was in the area around this time and who may have any information which could assist to contact us. We are particularly keen to speak to two teenage girls, described as being around 16 or 17 years of age, who were nearby at the time to get in touch.”

Anyone with any information is being asked to contact 101 quoting incident 4158 of 6 August, 2022. Information can also be passed on anonymously to Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111.
