Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 05 Oct, 2021 01:12 PM

On September 27, 2021, just before 5:00 pm, Surrey RCMP received a report that a woman walking in Bear Creek Park was grabbed from behind by an unknown man. The woman was able to quickly escape and the suspect fled the area on foot.

The suspect is described as a 20-30 year old man with a darker complexion, black curly hair past his ears, medium build, approximately 5’10, and was wearing a grey hoody with baggy pants.

Officers are working with the victim and consulting with a Forensic Sketch artist in order to forward the investigation, says Surrey RCMP Media Relations Officer Corporal Vanessa Munn. Thankfully the victim was able to escape without any physical injuries, however incidents like these can have a profound and long-lasting impact on victims.

Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502. If you wish to make an anonymous report please contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.solvecrime.ca.
