Calgary police are looking for assistance locating this man, who's a suspect in an alleged sexual assault that took place early Wednesday near the Dalhousie CTrain station
Calgary police are seeking public assistance to identify a suspect in a sexual assault that took place Wednesday.
The incident occurred around 1 a.m. in northwest Calgary, when the victim was returning home from the Dalhousie CTrain and was followed by an unknown man to a nearby dog park.
A witness intervened, causing the suspect to flee on foot.
The suspect is described as a man between 25 and 35 years old, around 182 centimetres (6 feet) tall with a slim build who may have spoken with an accent. He was wearing a black jacket, black hood, baseball cap, black jeans and tan boots.
A vehicle fleeing the scene was described as a silver sun-faded car with a sunroof and dark-coloured strip on the roof behind the sunroof.
Police say they can't be sure if the car is related to the incident or not.
