A 14-YEAR-OLD girl managed to beat off a pervert who indecently assaulted her in broad daylight.
The teenager was on her way to school when the man approached her in the underpass between Stockton's Dovecot and Dixon Streets.
He made an indecent remark and then carried out the assault, at about 8.30am on Wednesday.
However, the teenager hit the man and he ran away. She was left unhurt but police said she was shaken and upset.
Her attacker was of Asian appearance and in his early 20s. He was of medium build and had long, black hair and a local accent. He wore a black coat and blue jeans.
