SYDNEY, Aug 3 AAP - A man has pulled a teenage girl off her bike as she was cycling
with her sister in a brazen daylight attack on the NSW central coast.
The 13-year-old girl and her teenage sister were riding along Elizabeth Bay Drive at
Lake Munmorah when the attack occurred about 3.20pm (AEST) on Sunday.
"A male has grabbed her, pulling her from her bike," NSW police said in a statement.
"The girl has struggled free and the man was seen to run into the bushes where a second
male was heard, but not seen."
The two girls ran to a nearby road and flagged down a passing car.
Police said a car was seen speeding away from the area.
It is described as a late model white sedan with yellow and black NSW plates.
One of the girls also saw a blue sedan which drove past and did not stop.
"Police would like to speak with the driver of this vehicle as they might be able to
assist with their inquiries," police said.
The man is described as being white/European in appearance, medium build, 170-175cm
tall, tanned complexion with short brown messy hair.
He was wearing a light blue t-shirt and beige long shorts.
Police have appealed for anyone who saw a man or men acting suspiciously near Elizabeth
Bay Drive about 3pm (AEST) on Sunday to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
