Sergeant Tom Cogan said the 23-year-old victim had left the train station and was walking along Whitfords Avenue about 3am on May 14 when the offender approached her from the other direction.
“He grabbed her, then threw her to the ground,” he said. “He wrapped his hands around her throat and indecently assaulted her.”
The man fled with the victim’s handbag.
