KOTA KINABALU: A teenage girl shocked delegates at a PBS branch meeting in Penampang when she turned up bleeding and asking for help.

The 16-year-old girl claimed that she was assaulted and robbed after an assailant tried to rape her at about 9pm Sunday.

A delegate, Toffiny Winona Pisol, posted on Facebook that they were in a meeting at the Kg Koidupan village hall when the girl appeared.

Toffiny said when asked what was the problem, the girl told them she was almost raped by a man and pushed into a drain. She pretended to be "dead" and the assailant ran away with her handbag. 

She got herself up and walked to the hall and was later taken to the hospital by policemen.

Penampang district police chief Deputy Supt Rosley Hobden when contacted said they were still recording statements from the victim and some witnesses.
