ACT Policing is reminding the Canberra community to remain vigilant after an assault occurred within the Australian National University campus on Tuesday (March 24).

This is the second reported assault within ACT in as many weeks however; at this point there are no links.

Police are urging anyone who may have witnessed either of the incidents or who can assist the investigation to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website with any information.
