Do you know this man?

New Westminster police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect who allegedly groped a woman at the 22nd Street SkyTrain station.

At about 10 p.m. on Sept. 23 , a woman was approached by an older South Asian man. The man complimented the woman on her looks and began following her towards the elevator at the station. He boarded the elevator with the woman and, once inside, allegedly groped her, according to a police department media release.

The suspect continued to follow the woman on the platform, grabbing at her and asking for personal information, including her name and phone number. Before she was able to board the SkyTrain, he allegedly kissed her, the release added.

The suspect is an older South Asian man with a white or grey beard.

Police are asking anyone with information regarding the identity of the suspect to contact Const. Rochelle Desranleau at 604-525-5411.
