In a swift response to an incident at a Fairfield shopping centre, Dutton Park detectives have charged a 29-year-old Moorooka man with multiple offenses, including sexual assault, following an alleged indecent act on a young woman. The incident occurred on July 25, when the 22-year-old victim was reportedly approached and assaulted by the man.

According to reports, the suspect attempted to flee the scene on foot but was quickly apprehended by bystanders before police arrived to make the arrest. Further allegations suggest the man also committed theft from a nearby grocery store.

The accused has been charged with sexual assault, stealing, and common assault. He remains in custody and is scheduled to appear before the Brisbane Magistrates Court on August 6.

The Queensland Police Service encourages anyone with additional information to contact Policelink or provide details anonymously through Crime Stoppers. Support services remain available for victims of sexual assault, emphasizing that help is accessible for those in need.
