Police are appealing for witnesses after a young woman was found bloodied and injured at a bus stop at Kilburn.

The woman, in her 20s, claims she was assaulted on Churchill Rd early on Monday morning.

Security footage shows the woman sitting at the bus stop near the Albion Hotel around 3.30am, for about an hour.

The video shows a driver pulling over to help, but they are seen leaving the scene a short time later.

Another motorist also appears to assist the woman but, after a short interaction, they are captured running back to their car and leaving the scene.

Eventually, the woman can be seen walking to a nearby service station.

She was later taken to Royal Adelaide Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Police are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage from the area - in particular, the driver of the blue station wagon seen in the video, who left the scene before officers arrived.

The station wagon driver is described as having a medium build and was wearing a high visibility shirt.

Churchill Rd was closed for almost two hours on Monday morning as crime scene investigators attended the scene.

Investigators could be seen collecting evidence from the bus stop.

Police said an investigation was underway into the incident but the details around the alleged attack - including when or where it occurred - were yet to be determined.
