Woman indecently assaulted

POLICE are hunting a man who indecently assaulted a woman at a Dandenong bus stop last month.
The woman got off at the Langhorne Street stop about 1.20pm on Sunday 24 May and was walking toward her friend when the man in his early sixties came up and indecently assaulted her.
Detectives have released images of the man who is believed to be of Pacific Islander appearance and had a New Zealand accent, and was described as scruffy.

He got on the bus with them and when the woman got off the bus at Langhorne Street she left her friend and was walking to another friend when the man assaulted her.
