EDITOR’S NOTE: This story was originally published at 5 p.m. on June 29, 2016 and at the time said police told Global News they had reason to believe the assault was connected to two other assaults in the same area in December. Calgary police later corrected that statement to say that in fact, investigators had no reason to believe there is a connection between the most recent assault and the incidents in December. This story was updated to reflect that at 9:45 p.m. on June 29, 2016.
