Transit Police wants the public's help in tracking down a sexual assault suspect after a teenage girl was fondled at the New Westminster SkyTrain Station.
The alleged sexual assault happened on April 24, when a 16-year-old girl was walking up the stairs towards the New Westminster station when two men passed her as they walked down.
One of the men spoke to the girl and sexually fondled her then the two men left the station laughing. The second man did not participate in the assault, according to a Transit Police media release.
"CCTV footage shows the men entering the liquor store adjacent to the station following the assault," the release states. "It also indicates the men originally (boarded) a train at Stadium SkyTrain Station at approximately 8:25 p.m.”
The suspect is described as a 25-year-old Caucasian male, 5'8" to 5'9", 180 lbs. with short, light brown hair and a receding hair line, clean shaven, Russian accent, wearing a dark blue hooded sweatshirt with "Hollister California" printed on the front, light coloured jeans and black shoes.
The information was released in a Crime Stoppers alert, but no positive identification was made.
Anyone with information concerning the identity of this man is asked to call Transit Police at 604-515-8300 or Crime Stoppers, 1-800-222-8477, if they wish to remain anonymous.
