Sydney woman indecently assaulted

A woman has been grabbed from behind and indecently assaulted in a Sydney street.

The 23-year-old was walking along Glenmore Road at Paddington about 2am on Monday when a man grabbed her.

She fell to the ground and the attacker, described as being in his late 20s and of Middle Eastern or Mediterranean appearance, fled.

It's believed he may have been travelling in a dark-coloured older model Subaru Forester.
