A woman walking home from work has been grabbed in a terrifying attack near 35 Robinson Street Dandenong.
The 25-year-old had left Dandenong railway station and passed a large group of males in the area about 9.20pm on Sunday 9 June.
She told police she sensed someone was following her, then was grabbed “quite violently” on Robinson Street.
The male attacker put a hand over her mouth to muffle her screams and dragged her behind a real estate sign, police say.
Her attacker, described as wearing a dark jacket and a dark cap, stopped the attack when a car passed the building on the corner of Hemmings and Robinson streets.
He fled west on foot on Hemmings Street.
