Girl ambushed in street on way to school and left for dead with plastic bag over her head

A teenage schoolgirl was ambushed, dragged into bushes and left for dead – with a plastic bag over her head – while walking to Linkside High School yesterday morning.

The attack happened less than a kilometre from the school shortly after 8am. The girl had been running late for class.

The case has been handed over to the family violence, child protection and sexual offences unit for investigation.
