One of the first victims of Bradley Robert Edwards has written a book about the attack to encourage others to speak up and ‘make a fuss’ if they have been a victim of violence.

Edwards, then aged 21, grabbed former social worker Wendy Davis in 1990 as she sat working at her desk in Hollywood Hospital, shoved a cloth into her mouth, and began dragging her towards an isolated toilet block.

"At the time, both the police and Telecom as it was seemed to be more interested in protecting a man's job and then looking at protecting a woman's safety," she told 6PR Mornings host Gareth Parker on Wednesday.
