On November 20 (Thursday) at 10:30 p.m., a 42-year-old woman left her residence and went for a walk.  She travelled southbound along Bourquin Crescent West when she noticed a man walking behind her in the area of the bus exchange.

The man moved ahead of her and entered the Mill Lake boardwalk.  Moments later as she was about to pass another entrance to the boardwalk, the man jumped out and grabbed her from behind while pulling her into the park.  A struggle ensued and the victim was grabbed, groped and struck by the assailant.

Fortunately the victim was able to push the attacker off balance which allowed her to run out of the park.  The suspect did not follow her.  The victim reported the incident the following day.
