Woman raped on her way to clinic
A woman was forced into a bush and raped on her way to a clinic.
A TASK as simple as looking after your health turned into a terrifying ordeal for a woman who was raped on her way to a clinic. On Monday, 12 May the woman was walking to a local clinic when a man wearing a balaclava approached her at the Redhill railway station.
“The man held the woman up with a knife and told her not to shout,” said Lt Elvis Naidoo, spokesman for the Greenwood Park Police Station. The man then pushed the woman into a bush and forced her to the ground.
“He told her to take off her underwear and proceeded to rape the woman. She fled the scene and alerted police of the rape,” Lt Naidoo added.
He urged residents to report sexual assault cases, even if these were committed by a friend or relative and said victims of such crimes must utilise the station’s trauma centre.
Below are a few tips to avoid being a victim of rape.
