SURREY (NEWS 1130) – RCMP are looking for a man they say took a swing at a senior for no reason in Surrey’s Newton area earlier this month.
Police say it happened around 5:45 p.m. on April 16th as the 65-year-old victim was walking his dogs near 133rd Street and 66th Avenue. That’s when the attacker reportedly rode up on a bike, dismounted, and started trying to hit him with a weapon.
There’s no word on what that weapon was.
The victim wasn’t seriously hurt. The man got back onto his bike and took off before officers could get there.
A witness took a picture of the suspect as he rode away.
The suspect is described as a Black man in his 20s, about 5’10 tall, wearing a red puffy jacket, red pants, and a baseball cap.
If you have any information, you are asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
