"Understandably she's very upset, she is receiving support from her family and West Australian Police."

The man was described as wearing dark-coloured shorts, a t-shirt and a mask covering his face. He is thought to have fled the area on foot.

Police are reviewing some CCTV but have called on neighbours for more, and have asked anyone in the area with video from around the time of the attack to come forward.
