BREAKING: A man of no fixed address has handed himself into police after the sexual assault of a 32-year-old woman in Thornbury at the weekend

The woman was walking a friend's dog through the park when she was approached by a man, who told her he had lost something, Detective acting Inspector Janet Mitchell said on Sunday.When she went to help, he produced the knife. The woman then managed to grab the knife and believed she stabbed him."I think he was on a mission and he saw the woman coming and he pursued her," acting Inspector Mitchell said.

"When he could see that she was trying to get away, he tried to divert her attention appealing to her good nature." Police and SES volunteers had spent hours combing the park for evidence on Saturday night, particularly near a brick toilet block.
