A witness who called police says a woman was throttled in a central Wellington park in broad daylight.
At around 2.15pm the man, who does not want to be named, says he entered Glover Park and heard a woman who sounded distressed yell no I m going home, stop following me .
He told the Herald this occurred on the corner of Ghuznee St and Cuba St.
When the screaming got louder he said he turned around and saw the woman on her knees at the entrance of the park, with who appeared to be her pursuer behind her with his hands around her neck.
