Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 22 Sep, 2023 11:57 AM

R-C-M-P in Coquitlam say a man has been charged following an attack on a woman walking along a popular urban trail in that Metro Vancouver city.

Police say a 32-year-old man was charged with separate counts of assault with a weapon and assault by choking related to the September 7th attack.

Court records show the suspect is well known to police in Port Coquitlam and he remains in custody awaiting his next court date on September 28th.

Police praise both the victim for fighting back and the witnesses who rushed to help her, saying all those actions likely prevented further injury to the woman.
