From the Dom Post:

Wheelchair woman hit
13/9/06

A man demanded money from a woman in a wheelchair before assaulting her in what Invercargill police labelled an unprovoked and cowardly attack.

Police said the 21-year-old woman was hit four or five times in Tay St, opposite the YMCA, before a passer-by intervened.

The woman said: “I was just coming back from the gym and was just about to cross the road - all of a sudden this person came out of nowhere.”

The man, who attacked the woman about 12.30pm yesterday, was described as a white skinhead.
