A teenage girl, who is an exchange student, was sexually assaulted by two men at Topaz Park, Victoria police say.
The incident took place between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Tuesday, according to police.
“The teen girl was walking through Topaz Park when two men blocked her path. The two men stopped the girl near the field house and washrooms near Finlayson and Glasgow streets,” Victoria police said in a release.
“After stopping the girl, the two men sexually assaulted her. She was able to break free of the men and run to a safe place where she informed a responsible adult about what had occurred.”
Police describe the two men as both around 60 years old, with dark hair and wearing dark clothing.
Both men were wearing black shirts, pants, and shoes and carrying large black backpacks.
They also both had a dishevelled appearance.
