Vic assault suspect intoxicated: police POLICE say a man suspected of two indecent assaults in the Melbourne CBD had followed the women and appeared to be drunk or on drugs. The incidents occurred on July 26, when two women were walking along Queen Street on their way to work about 6.30-7am (AEST). The suspect pushed one woman against a wall before assaulting her, and blew her a kiss before leaving the scene. The other victim was approached first and then assaulted, with the man reported as 'smirking' at her before he left. Senior Constable John Baldwin said CCTV footage of the man suggested he had been taking drugs or alcohol before the assaults. "From the footage that's available, he appears to be staggering, and appears to be under the influence of either drugs or alcohol, but that's yet to be confirmed," he said. He added that while the assaults themselves were not captured on camera, new CCTV footage revealed that the man had followed two separate women beforehand. From his behavior at the time it seems clear that he has something going on inside his thinking that leads to this further incident. We don't know whether it was related to him being substance-affected on that day, or whether it's something that's ongoing.
