At about 4.45pm a female senior constable was leaving Nowra Police Station after completing her shift, when she was approached by an unknown man who followed her to her vehicle.
As the officer was returning to the station, the man allegedly became verbally abusive and a male detective senior constable who happened to be walking to his car at the same time intervened.
