Queensland police seek witnesses after early-morning assault in Brookfield

Queensland police have launched an appeal for information after a woman in her 20s was sexually assaulted by a stranger on Brookfield Road near the bridge at about 6:30 am. The attacker, wearing black shorts and a black jumper, approached the victim and then escaped on foot. Authorities are seeking anyone who was in the vicinity between 5:45 am and 6:45 am, particularly individuals who may have captured the event on dash-cam.

Detectives and specialist police officers are on the scene, and local general-duties officers will increase patrols to maintain community safety. This case is being treated as isolated, but it follows a previous public appeal in June when an 11-year-old girl reported being approached and touched by an unknown man on Westridge Street. Police continue to investigate both incidents as part of broader efforts to protect residents.
