THE STATE I'M IN

Man, 20, refused bail in rape case, Qld

November 08, 2006
A 20-YEAR-OLD man dragged a woman off Ruthven Street into a car park where he sexually assaulted her, police alleged in Toowoomba Magistrates Court yesterday...

... in the early hours of Saturday and ran off after two people answered the woman's cries for help.

The defendant, who by law cannot be named unless committed to trial on the charges, was of Sudanese background and in Australia on a humanitarian refugee visa, Sergeant Turner said.

When arrested early Saturday morning on a traffic matter, he had allegedly threatened police and bitten an officer when being processed through the watchhouse, he said.
