A 12-year-old girl on her way to school has been snatched, tied up, and sexually assaulted on the Central Coast.
About 7.45am this morning, the girl was walking along a pathway between Reeves and Carrington Streets in Narara, when a man grabbed her from behind and took her into nearby bushland.
She was tied up, and sexually and indecently assaulted.
The girl escaped and made her way to school, where the incident was reported.
She was taken to hospital for assessment.
Detectives would now like to speak with a man who they believe can assist with their inquiries.
He is described as being aged in his mid-20s, 175-180cm tall, with a chubby build, grey/blond hair, and blue eyes.
At the time he was wearing a knitted camouflage shirt, camouflage pants over navy blue pants, and a camouflage hat, with a loose covering over his face that exposed his eyes and nose.
He was also carrying a camouflage bag and a hunting knife.
