Woman dragged away by attacker

By Cam Lucadou-Wells

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.
