POLICE have charged a “ride-share” driver with the indecent assault of a female passenger.

Police say on October 5 around 11pm, the driver told the woman, who is in her 20s, that the rear passenger doors were broken so she had to ride up front with him.

The 51-year-old man is from Southern River and is due to face the Perth Magistrates Court on Monday on four counts of indecent assault.

But the investigation’s ongoing and detectives are urging anyone with information on it to call 1800 333 000 or make an online report at http://www.crimestopperswa.com.au
