A ST ALBANS woman had her nose broken by a man who viciously attacked and indecently assaulted her, after she got off a train on Saturday 22 June.
The 25-year-old woman suffered serious facial injuries after being punched several times during the incident, which occurred after she left Ginifer Railway Station.
Police said the woman was walking along Camara St when she noticed a man behind her about 10pm.
The woman started to run but the man punched her head and knocked her to ground.
The offender, who was described as Asian in appearance, attempted to kiss the woman and remove her clothing.
However the woman kicked and punched her attacker, who retaliated by hitting her in the face several times before running away.
The woman managed to stagger to a house on Camara St and raised the alarm. She was taken to Footscray Hospital and was treated for a broken eye socket and nose.
The offender was described as approximately 25 years old, around 165cm tall with a slim-to-medium build and short dark hair.
Detectives from the Footscray Sexual Offence and Child Abuse Investigation Team are investigating and would like to speak to any witnesses.
Anyone with information about the attack can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
