A 17-year-old male will face court following the indecent assault of a woman in Alice Springs on Saturday.

The youth allegedly offered the 26-year-old victim a ride as she was walking along Gap Road around 4pm on Saturday. He then drove her to Len Kittle Drive where he allegedly indecently assaulted her before she was able to get out of the car and run for help.

The woman was picked up by another motorist who was parked near the Stuart Highway and taken to the police station.

Police interviewed the alleged offender on Tuesday and he will now be summonsed to appear in the Alice Spring Youth Justice Court to face charges in relation to the incident.
