Woman in Perth shaken after stranger grabs her arm

Officers are appealing for information after a woman was assaulted in Perth.

On Saturday, August 6 around 9pm, the 47-year-old woman was walking by the viewpoint in Western Edge Park, Fittis Road, Perth when a man approached her and 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. He 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 asked to contact 101 quoting incident 4158 of August 6, 2022. Alternatively information can be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111.
