Attempted rape leads to Lower Hutt manhunt

12/03/2010 14:56:01

Lower Hutt police are searching for two men following an attempted rape this morning.

A 20-year-old woman was pushed over and indecently assaulted as she was making her way from Farmers Crescent to the Pomare Train Station around seven o'clock.

Detective Sergeant Dean Simpson says the two men believed to be responsible for the attack were last seen running south down Eastern Hutt Rd.

Both are described as male Maori, aged 18 to 20, of thin to average build and approximately 5'7 to 5'8 tall. One was wearing a black hoodie with the hood up and the other wore a white t-shirt.

Detective Sergeant Simpson says the victim has been left traumatised by the attack.
