Police investigate another sex attack

A 24-year-old woman is the latest victim to join the growing number of women to be sexually assaulted in Brisbane.

Police say the victim was walking home along Blakeney Street in the inner-city suburb of Highgate Hill shortly before midnight when she was grabbed by a teenager and pushed to the ground and assaulted.

Her screams scared her attacker off.

The offender is described as being about 15 to 17-years-old.

Police are trying to stem the flow of assaults on the city's northside through Operation Echo Shine.

So far there have been 38 confirmed attacks on women in the area, despite ongoing police warnings about personal safety.

Griffith University criminologist Stephen Smallbone said last week those responsible are being driven by the notoriety of their crimes or their sexual fantasies and warned the attacks may escalate.
