ACT Policing is appealing to a man who may have witnessed a sexual assault in Glebe Park, Civic, on Saturday night (November 29).

A 35-year-old woman was walking from the City Bus Interchange around 11.30pm when a man, whom she knew as an acquaintance, offered to walk with her.

As they walked through Glebe Park the woman was sexually assaulted by the man. During the assault the woman saw a Caucasian man watching.
