Police probe kill threat

POLICE are investigating claims a man indecently assaulted and threatened to kill a woman while she was in a Narre Warren park last week.
The 47-year-old victim was riding her bike along Columbia Road about 12.30pm on 3 June when she first noticed the man.
The Narre Warren woman continued riding and was later approached by the same man near parkland on Prospect Hill Road.
The woman told police she was then grabbed on the breast by her attacker and told to “come this way or I will kill you”.
Police said the woman raised her helmet at the man before riding off towards her house.
The man is described as being in his late teens, with brown hair and wearing a green T-shirt and black pants at the time of the incident.
Anyone with information about the assault is asked to contact Narre Warren Police on 9705 3111.
