please be careful out there!

Good morning I'm re posting the below from Warkworth page....be safe out there everyone.
Think our community needs to be aware of a possible serial predator lurking around the top of Pulham Rd and Bluegum.
Our young 16 year old boarder was attacked coming home last night after work at 8:20pm hes jumped out of the bushes in front of no. 8 pulham rd and knocked her to the ground. She has been lucky enough to fight her way free, and as shes ran from him he has pulled a knife from his pocket and continued to chase her past john andrews drive where he finally gave up. It has been reported to the police.
UPDATE
[Was wearing white hoody, grey tracks and black shoes age late 20 - 30s she wasnt able to see his face properly he had pulled cords in hoody so face was covered, medium build discribed as tanned wasnt able to distingush nationality due to no lights that part of pulham rd]
The worrying thing is i have seen other posts relating to similar incidents in town.
Please be vigilent i think this man has been surveying the area because my daughter has mentioned a suspious character who followed both girls home a week prior around the same time and has dissapeared down John Andrews drive also we believe it may be the same man.
