A man accused of a sexual assault at Islington is due to face court today (Tuesday 14 December, 2021).
A 23-year-old woman was walking to her car on Maitland Road last Friday night when she was approached from behind by a man.
It's alleged he sexually assaulted her before a passer-by intervened and chased the man onto Maitland Road, Beaumont Street and Fern Street.
Investigations led officers to a workplace at Sandgate yesterday morning where a 47-year-old man was arrested.
He's been charged with aggravated sexual assault and inflict actual bodily harm and refused bail.
