A woman has been indecently assaulted after a man broke into her house at Dubbo during the early hours of this morning, NSW Police say.
About 3.20am today, a 22-year-old woman was asleep in her Baird Drive home when she was awoken by the sound of her front door being opened.
The woman locked the open door, and a short time later was confronted by a man who appears to have entered through the bedroom window.
The man demanded money from the woman before indecently assaulting her.
The woman became involved in a scuffle with the man and was punched to the face before leaving the house.
The woman contacted police, who attended and canvassed the area and established a crime scene.
The woman was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics for facial injuries.
The man has been described as being of Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander appearance with a thin build. He was wearing shorts, white joggers and no shirt. He has a white shirt covering his face.
Investigations are continuing.
Police are urging anyone with information in relation to this incident to call Crime Stoppers.
