Video captured Annie chasing her alleged attacker through the concourse of Sydney’s Central Station during the peak-hour commute on Monday.

‘He ran away and nobody helped me.’

The man, who called himself John, appeared to claim it was a case of mistaken identity and said: ‘I saw it, it was the other guy. I saw her – another guy.’
He continued to protest his innocence as Annie tried to restrain him, at one point putting him in a headlock.
‘It’s not me – I’ve got to go. I told you,’ John insisted.
Annie shouted back: ‘You think that you can touch anyone.’

A tradesman briefly intervened in the scuffle before John made a getaway to the city’s streets.
‘I saw that he wanted to leave, and I said ”no”. [But] I was just with me… and I’m not strong,’ Annie said.
‘If I didn’t do something he would do it again.’
A police spokesman told Daily Mail Australia the footage was being examined by the NSW Police Transport Command and Annie has provided a statement.
Investigations are continuing.
