 At about 3.30pm on the afternoon of Monday 1st July this year a lady whilst walking through Parkland to the rear of Greenslade Street, Tingelpa was approached by a young male person brandishing a knife. She was led into nearby Scrubland and sexually assaulted. The male person is described as being in his early 20s with dark spiky short hair and of a slim build wearing a dark hooded jumper and dark pants possibly jeans. As well as can be expected physically she's fine obviously very upset. There has been footage obtained from local residents with their own home security CCTV recorders and it's been a tremendous assistance. Unfortunately we only have the lady on footage at this point in time. Did this man say anything to her? Very little. It was painfully obvious I think what was going to transpire that very little was actually said. And how did she get away? She was basically left to her own devices to walk away from the scene. Has this man been following the lady? Or did he come out and know it? No essentially he was waiting in the park. Did he know that she made that route? She's got a regular path that she takes? I can't answer that question I'm sorry. Near the soccer club? Yeah. It leads to the soccer club yeah. Are there other women picking up children from school? No not at all. Who is this woman? How old is she? Is she a mother? Is she a student? She's a woman in her early 30s who utilises the local pedestrian footpath type of thoroughfare through that park lands for her own health. I think that's about as far as I can take it. Has this lady ever seen this man in the area before? No. So she really does seem to be in the area? Close proximity yes. Is she married? Does she have kids? I'd rather not further that if you don't mind. If that's okay. Have there ever been any other attacks like this in the area? No. Yes. Yes. And if we have our way it will be the last. How concerned are you about this? Obviously being a married man I'm very concerned. Investigations are well and truly underway and that's probably why it's been a couple of days since I haven't been able to release too much information prior to today. So presumably other women exercise in that area? Have you got a warning to them? Absolutely. Be vigilant of your personal safety. Preferably walk with as a group or at least a couple. It's just common sensical I'd suggest until we get our job done. But be vigilant about your personal safety. Have you spoken to any members of the public? Members of the public in that area, residents in that area have been tremendous with their assistance. For instance the gentleman that came forward with the CCTV footage of the lady going to the park that day. Been a tremendous assistance. I don't think I can take much further than that really. What's that about? All I can say really from a description standpoint is a small knife. I'd rather not further that. Did the victim fight back at any stage or try to resist? No. Just finally if you could elaborate what sort of damage does this give to the small community? Well obviously an area such as this is normally a very quiet area where people can walk in the park and exercises they see fit. And I'd say this has a fairly marked effect on people undertaking their normal exercise or whatever walking the dog etc. in and around that parkland. But again we're putting the resources into the job to finalize it. And I'd just like to thank you for coming out and helping me today.
