SURREY (NEWS 1130) — Mounties in Surrey are asking for help identifying a man who sexually assaulted a woman at a bus stop in Newton this summer.
According to Surrey RCMP, a woman was “groped” while sitting at a bus stop at 144 Street and 78 Avenue on the morning of July 14.
“When the woman confronted the man, he fled on a bicycle. The woman was physically uninjured and reported the incident to police,” reads a release.
Police say they are releasing a photo and a composite because “other avenues of investigation have been unsuccessful.”
The man is described as South Asian, approximately 25-years-old, with a round face, no facial hair, and wearing black jeans, a black wind breaker, navy blue socks and a black helmet.
Anyone with information is urged to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.solvecrime.ca.
