Police are probing the assault of a north-west teenager near Cable Beach on Sunday.

Between 7pm and 8.30pm, the 19-year-old was walking along Oryx Road near Millington Road when she was assaulted.

She sustained minor injuries in the attack but was taken to Broome Health Campus by friends who found her about 8.30pm.

It’s understood she has since been released from hospital.

Police say the woman’s attacker is unknown and are calling on the public to provide information on the incident or any suspicious activity in the area around the time of the assault.

Police wouldn’t comment on the nature of the assault.

The area where the incident occurred is surrounded by various hotels, resorts and caravan parks.

Several people from local accommodation facilities told The West Australian the area was generally quiet and usually only frequented by tourists travelling to and from the beach.

Police are particularly interested in dashcam vision of the area from Sunday evening and urge people to contact Broome Detectives on 9194 0223, Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online.

People reporting information to Crime Stoppers can remain anonymous if they wish.
