A teenage boy is facing eight charges in relation to an alleged sexual assault on a walking track in Melbourne ’s north earlier this month. A woman was allegedly sexually assaulted while running in a park in Jacana. Victoria Police executed a search warrant at a Roxburgh Park home on Tuesday morning, taking the 16-year-old boy into custody. The woman heard someone come up behind her as she went under a bridge while running along a path through Jacana Reserve, near Johnstone St, about 11.
The woman was taken to hospital with scratches and pain in her shoulders. Victoria Police officers searched the area with the help of the Air Wing and Dog Squad on the day of the incident, but were unable to find the suspect. Detective Inspector Mark Burnett said the incident was “extremely concerning” and the victim was “very brave”. “We were especially impressed with the way she was able to assist police ... and the way she was able to fight and run from the scene,” he said.
