Vancouver Police Ask For Good Samaritan In Sexual Assault Case To Reach Out

Darpan News Desk, 25 Dec, 2018 08:59 PM

    Vancouver police investigators are looking for a Good Samaritan who helped a sexual assault victim get home following an alleged attack.


    Sgt. Jason Robillard says a woman was walking on Main Street when a man approached her and offered to help her make a phone call just after midnight on Dec. 15.


    He says the man then over-powered and allegedly sexually assaulted the woman.


    Police believe the suspect was startled and ran off.


    He is described as a 30- to 40-year-old Caucasian man with a stocky build and about of 5-foot-6, wearing a black puffy jacket with a red fleece underneath and oversized pants.


    Robillard says shortly after the alleged attack a Good Samaritan walked with the woman "a significant distance to ensure she got home safely," and police would like to speak to that person.
