Police have appealed to several people who may have witnessed the alleged attempted rape of a young woman at Noosa to come forward.
A Sunshine Beach man, 22, was on Thursday arrested and charged after he allegedly tried to sexually assault a young woman on April 18.
Police say the woman was on her way to work about 5.20am when the man allegedly grabbed her.
Sunshine Coast CIB officer-in-charge Daren Edwards said there were at least six people who may have spoken with the accused that morning.
“There’s a few innocent people we would like to speak to about it,” Detective Senior Sergeant Edwards said.
Basically, the victim was just sitting there and gets belted, unprovoked. He (the accused) just laid into him, punching him in the head. Sergeant Edwards said the accused had been involved in an earlier incident that had nothing to do with the victim and that he got the wrong person . He said the French national is believed to be on a working visa. Sergeant Edwards said it was another example of a spike in severe incidents of violence within the Coast s safe night precincts. The accused was released on bail with conditions and is due to face the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on May 5.
