Police are seeking witnesses after a woman was assaulted on a train between Gosford and Narara on Sunday, March 13.
Two women, aged 21 and 25, boarded a northbound train at Gosford at 3.11am. As the pair entered the lower deck of the carriage, they were followed and approached by three men. Police have been told one of the men splashed drink from a can onto the women. He then grabbed the younger woman’s hands, applying extreme pressure and breaking a bone in her wrist. The man also pushed her down into a seat. The older woman ran to the emergency help button and notified the guard. The service was stopped at Narara. Officers from the Police Transport Command attended immediately; however, the three men had already fled the scene and could not be located. An investigation is underway, and police would like to hear from anyone who witnessed or has information about this incident. In particular, they are seeking information about a man who may be able to assist with their inquiries. He is described as being of Caucasian appearance, 20 to 25-years-old, with a stocky build, and messy, shoulder-length, brown and sun-bleached hair. At the time, the man was wearing a grey singlet top. Two other males may also be able to assist police with their inquiries. One is described as being of Caucasian appearance, aged 20 to 25, and wearing a green T-shirt. Police have not been given a description of the third male. The injured woman was taken to Gosford Hospital for treatment.
