Transit Police haven't given up the hope of being able to identify a young woman who alleged she had been sexually assaulted while on the SkyTrain last week.
On Nov. 13 a young woman exited the SkyTrain at Broadway Station, walked up to an attendant and reported she had been sexually assaulted while on the train. The young woman was able to identify the suspect, as he was still on the train, and the SkyTrain attendant boarded the train and followed him until Transit Police apprehended him, stated a media release from Transit Police.
At Patterson Station in Burnaby, Transit Police arrested the suspect - a 47-year-old New Westminster man who is known to police.
During this time, police believe the victim left Broadway Station, continuing on her way before Transit Police arrived to take her statement.
The department is still holding out hope the victim will contact the department in order to speak with investigators, said Anne Drennan, Transit Police spokesperson.
The victim is described as a black woman and 23 to 25 years old. She was well dressed and wearing all dark clothing at the time of the incident, according to the release.
Transit Police are asking that the victim call 604-515-8300 to speak with investigators.
Anyone with information regarding the incident or the identity of the woman is asked to contact the Transit Police at the number above.
