A man will appear in Sutherland Local Court on August 28 charged with assault following an incident on a train yesterday with a girl, 11.
Police said the girl was travelling in a train between Sutherland and Engadine railway stations at about 9.15am when she was allegedly grabbed by a man, 58, before she broke free and left the train at Engadine.
The girl reported the incident to teachers at her nearby school, who contacted police.
They looked at security footage from the station before arresting a Penshurst man yesterday afternoon.
