assaulted by an unknown man in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Police officers are now looking for the man who allegedly approached the woman after she had become separated from her friend at a Pembroke pub near closing time -- 1 a.m..

The woman told the Police that she had been drinking and was somewhat distressed and impaired when the man forced himself on her and sexually assaulted her.

The Police were called when she returned home and she was taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for examination.

Officers have a description of the man and are asking anyone who was in the area of Richmond Road around this time and may have saw something suspicious to call them at 295-0011 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-623-8477.

A man who attempted to rob a woman on the railway tracks in Warwick on Saturday morning is being sought by the Police.

Police press officer Evelyn James Barnett said the man showed a knife to his intended victim but appeared nervous and eventually ran away.

The man was described as tall and very thin, wearing a black stocking-like mask over his face and dark clothing.

Anyone who can assist in the investigations is asked to call P.c.

Tempest-Mitchell at 234-1010 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-623-8477.

Four young men who tried to do a taxi driver out of a $18.78 fare were foiled when the 39-year-old man nabbed one of them after a chase.

The Smith's Parish cabbie took the 15-year-old Southampton boy straight to Somerset Police Station at 3.30 a.m. yesterday where he told officers that he had picked up the foursome at White's Supermarket.

On Sound View Road they jumped out of his cab, he continued, and tried to get away but he caught one of them.

The young man was interviewed and bailed. Police have the names of the other boys and they will be questioned. Meanwhile, the driver collected his fare.

AKINSTALL FOUND NOT GUILTY CTS Akinstall found not guilty The founder of a woman's rights group was last week cleared of a charge of threatening behaviour arising from an alleged row with her sister.

Valirie Akinstall appeared before Magistrate Edward King for a judgement following an earlier trial when she pleaded not guilty to using threatening behaviour.

However Mr. King said the evidence from witnesses was conflicting and found Ms Akinstall, the founder of the Akinstall Foundation, not guilty.

At the earlier trial it was alleged that Ms Akinstall approached her sister with a knife and threatened to kill her, said Mr. King in summarising the evidence.

He said the sister alleged that Ms Akinstall pointed a knife saying she was going to stab her in the neck. It was also alleged that Ms Akinstall "ranted and raved about the settlement of the family estate''.

It was alleged that Ms Akinstall ran into her sister's house in Pembroke and took a table belonging to her late mother, added Mr. King.

Ms Akinstall's niece also gave evidence during the earlier trial and alleged that she heard her aunt swear at her sister and also threaten to kill her, said Mr. King.

However Mr. King said that he found discrepancies in evidence given by the two witnesses.

"The prosecution's evidence is the testimony of the sister and her daughter against the defendant. Their evidence is unreliable and I find Ms Akinstall not guilty,'' said Mr. King.
