Coquitlam R-C-M-P say they are looking for a man who spat unprovoked at another pedestrian before fleeing.
Police say the assault happened while the victim, a female pedestrian, was walking on a sidewalk in the early evening hours near Coquitlam Centre when she was spat on.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian man in his late 40s with a slim build and curly brown hair who was wearing a blue button-down shirt and pulling a black bag on wheels.
