A woman has woken to a man allegedly indecently assaulting her in her home south of Alice Springs – moments after a disabled man was also assaulted, Northern Territory police say.
In a statement, police said the woman was indecently assaulted while she slept in her Kilgariff home on Monday morning.
The woman woke and screamed, police said, causing the perpetrator to flee.
The indecent assault was part of a home invasion in the Alice Springs suburb, police said, during which a disabled man was also assaulted.

Police said he was yet to be charged, while investigations into what happened were ongoing.
