The attack took place in the Tannaghmore North Road area of Lurgan at around 6.30pm.
The assailant is described by police as being aged between 30 to 40 years, with a beard and is said to have spoken with a local Lurgan accent.
He was over 5ft 5ins and was wearing a dark hoodie and dark trousers at the time.
