CHARGES have been approved by the BC Prosecution Service following the arrest of a suspect in connection with two alleged sexual assaults on transit buses in the Lower Mainland.
On July 8, 2025, a woman reported being sexually assaulted while travelling on a bus in Surrey. Transit Police officers attended and arrested a suspect.
Through further investigation by detectives in the Transit Police General Investigation Unit, police linked the suspect to a second alleged sexual assault from April 2025 on a Surrey bus. In that case, the incident was reported to police after being disclosed to a school counsellor.
Mohammad Wardak, a 32-year-old man from Surrey, has been charged with sexual assault in relation to both incidents. He has been released from custody and is subject to court-imposed conditions, including a “No Go” to any public transportation buses, SkyTrain or West Coast Express.
“Transit Police encourages anyone who has experiences or witnesses a sexual offence on transit to report it. Reducing sexual offences on transit is a priority for us, and we take all reports seriously,” said Constable Amanda Steed on Wednesday.
