The 12-year-old girl was walking to school in Narara on the morning of May 15 when a man grabbed her from behind and dragged her into bushland.

The schoolgirl was hospitalised but recovered from her injuries.
On June 4, an 18-year-old woman was walking from Narara Railway Station when a stranger grabbed her from behind and around the neck.
She told police she managed to kick the man, break free and run towards Koninderie Parade screaming for help.
Police believe the same man was responsible for targeting the girls weeks apart in the same Central Coast town.

"As you can imagine, it has been a difficult process, particularly for the younger girl, who has bravely relived the incident over and over to help us," Sex Crimes Squad commander Detective Superintendent Linda Howlett said.
"The clothing was described as a '3D, leafy Ghillie suit', which is quite distinct, but it is widely available and may not necessarily have been purchased at the same time – or even purchased recently."
Superintendent Howlett acknowledged it would be hard to get around town in a Ghillie suit and go unnoticed.

"...so we believe he'd know the best routes to use to go unnoticed," she said.
"Anyone who knows someone who fits the description and who would have access to an outfit like this is urged to get in touch with us as soon as possible."
Both girls described the man as being aged in his mid-20s, 175-180cm tall, with a chubby build, grey/blond hair, and blue eyes.
