Police are investigating after an 18-year-old woman was sexually assaulted in Sunrise Beach early this morning, Queensland Police say.
Around 1.55am, the woman was walking on a walkway that adjoins David Low Way and Bicentennial Way when she was grabbed from behind by a man and sexually assaulted.
A local man who was passing by heard a disturbance and went to the woman’s aid.
The offender then fled the scene on foot. He is described as 180cm tall with a European accent, possibly French. He was wearing long dark pants and a red t-shirt.
Noosa Detectives would like to speak with anyone that was in the area around the time of the assault who may have witnessed or heard any suspicious activity.
