On Saturday the 25th May 2013 at around 10.30 pm a thirty-eight-year-old female was walking along Hare Street in Echuca towards the Apex Park public toilets when a motor vehicle pulled up beside her and asked her if she wanted a lift. The female refused and some five minutes later the same male again approached her and attempted to pull her into his dark coloured Ford Falcon motor vehicle through the opened front passenger door. The victim was able to fight off the attacker, described as being of Aboriginal appearance, by gouging his face who then fled.
