Police said the woman had been returning to her car on Zakharov Avenue about 5.30pm when a dark-coloured van drove up beside her and stopped.
A man got out the side door, while the driver stayed in the vehicle, and took the woman by the arm. When she resisted, he let go and fled the area in the van.
The man was described as being about 5 feet 9 inches, with very pale skin and a clean shaven face. He was wearing a black hooded jumper, dark glasses with a white pin stripe and black ski gloves.
The driver of the van was described as male and wearing a light blue T-shirt. The van was described as being a new model, similar to a postal or courier van, and dull matt black in colour.
There were no registration plates displayed.
A spokesperson for ACT Policing said it was important for members of the public to report incidents to the police as soon as possible.
Police have door-knocked the area and are requesting CCTV footage from nearby businesses, but they are also appealing for witnesses to the event.
Police are urging anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who has information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via act.crimestoppers.com.au. Information can be provided anonymously.
