A 16-YEAR-OLD schoolgirl was assaulted by a man dressed in women’s clothes as she walked to a school bus stop in Parkdale this morning.

The girl was walking alone down McSwain St, Parkdale, at 8am and was looking down at her books when she was approached by a man who began screaming at her.

The man chased after her and threw what was believed to be coffee on the young girl.

Cheltenham Police are investigating whether the incident is linked to an attack on a 14-year-old girl at Mentone on July 19.

The girl was sitting at a Charman Rd bus stop at 4.17pm when she was approached by a crossdresser who threw faeces and urine at her.

The man is described as aged 50 to 60, with short grey hair, wearing a pink or red long-sleeved sweater, brown skirt and high-heeled shoes.

Police believe the same man has been seen wearing a shoulder-length dark brown wig.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Cheltenham Police on 9583 9767.
