A brave woman has shared her harrowing ordeal after being sexually assaulted in broad daylight in Dewsbury town centre. The victim took to social media after waiting three months with no update from police, fearing the ordeal might never reach the public.
Attack at Dewsbury Bus Station
On August 25, 2024, the woman was walking from Aldi to the bus station following a recruitment fair. Near the old WHSmith and Vodafone shops, a distressed man named Luke approached her. Holding an unopened beer, he claimed he had just been in a pub fight sparked by racist remarks from his girlfriend’s parents.
Showing him kindness, she listened as he insisted on walking her to the bus station. For half an hour, Luke talked about his troubles as they walked. But once they reached the bus station, things took a sinister turn.
Horrific Assault in Public View
Outside the 202-203 bus stand, Luke suddenly admitted he was “horny” and began groping her despite her protests. She tried to push him away, but he slammed her against a wall as passersby ignored the attack. He dragged her towards the alley between Asda and Farm Foods.
This shocking case serves as a chilling reminder to stay alert and look out for one another in public spaces.
