A young woman who was attacked by a pair of teenagers in broad daylight has issued an urgent safety warning. 

Ruby Fraser, 23, has urged other solo joggers to be careful while running along the Brisbane River after she was targeted by the e-scooter riders on Tuesday.

She was running on the William Jolly Bridge when she felt a tug on her headphones. 

‘I just got assaulted in the middle of the day by two young men who followed me on my entire run along the river on e-scooters,’ she said in a TikTok video. 

‘They pushed me, tried to steal my headphones off my head, spat on me multiple times and screamed at me while giving me the finger.

‘[I’m] scared to go for a run by myself ever again.’

The two teenagers quickly fled the scene near Lang Parade in Auchenflower.

Ms Fraser confirmed she had reported the incident to police.

She spoke about the incident on the Today Show a few days later. 

‘They came up within a metre of me, verbally abusing me, projectile spitting on me, giving me the middle finger and saying some pretty hurtful things,’ she said. 

‘The thought of going on that run alone anytime soon just brings me major anxiety.’

Ms Fraser said she hid out at a nearby apartment complex while she called police. 

Officers weren’t able to find the pair, described as being in their mid to late teens.

‘I was luckily able to escape up a ramp up the main road and get away from them,’ Ms Fraser said.

Aussies were quick to share their sympathy with the young woman. 

‘Girl, I am so sorry that happened to you. Let me know if you ever need a running buddy,’ one person wrote in the comments of the video. 

‘As a woman, you’re never truly safe. So sorry this happened to you, makes me so mad,’ another said.

‘I made the choice to get a German Shepherd so I was always protected and people were always wary to approach me. He’s now passed away and walking by myself has had an eerie feeling,’ another said.

One Brisbane local thought she may have run into the same teens.

‘When was this and what time? I went walking along the river Monday at 3.15pm and also had a run-in with teens on scooters. One of them spat on me,’ they said.

One of the teens was described as having a fair complexion with a slim build, around 160cm tall, and wearing a red hoodie and black pants.

The other also had a fair complexion, a proportionate build, and was a little taller at about 180cm, and wearing a black windbreaker jacket and black pants.

Police have urged anyone with information to come forward.
