Author and model Tara Moss has tweeted today about being assaulted in Sydney’s CBD.

The best selling writer was walking on Market Street when a white male in dark clothing attacked her, a series of tweets Moss posted said. She said the man then ran towards Hyde Park.

Moss tweeted out details of the attack to warn other people to keep clear of the man she said was “drug affected”.

She reported the incident to police and her social media messages showed she was bruised and shaken by the incident.

Moss recently wrote about being the victim of serious assault in her non-fiction memoir, The Fictional Woman.

Was just hit by a man in the street. He’s on Market St in dark clothing headed toward Hyde Park. Slim/white. Beware. Suspect drug affected.

He was in dark casual clothing, perhaps 6ft, travelling alone. Don’t approach as I suspect he is drug affected. — Tara Moss (@Tara_Moss) July 9, 2014

Have spoken to police who will patrol the area – he fits the desc of a known perp. In the meantime be careful in Hyde Park, CBD area, folks.
