An alleged sexual assault near Holdom SkyTrain last week has Burnaby RCMP turning to the public for help.
A woman was walking home near Springer Avenue and Braelawn Drive at about 10:30 p.m. last Friday, when she was approached by a man from behind. Investigators say the suspect, unknown to the victim, restrained her arms and groped her. Then, he allegedly hit her and fled south on Springer before turning east on Broadway, noted a press release from Burnaby RCMP.
Mounties are hoping to speak with anyone who may have witnessed the attack or who has information on the suspect. Police say the suspect is about five-foot-six-inches with a slim build. At the time of the alleged assault, he was wearing a black hoody with the hood up and track pants that tapered at the bottom of the leg.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Burnaby RCMP investigative support team at 604-294-7922 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
