The Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) is calling on the public to help it identify a suspect accused of assaulting a 64-year-old woman.

Police said on Nov. 17, 2023 in the evening, the victim was waiting for her bus in the 2300 block of McPhillips Street when a man she didn’t know confronted her.

The man seemed agitated, officers said, and after a short conversation forcefully pushed the 64-year-old to the ground. The WPS said she needed medical attention for her injuries.
