Metro Vancouver Transit Police have released security footage of the suspect in a sexual assault at a Surrey SkyTrain station last year, having exhausted “every possible lead,” the force said Thursday.

According to police, a woman was making her way up to the platform at the Surrey Central SkyTrain station just after 6 a.m. on Aug. 17 when someone followed her onto the escalator. That’s when police say she was sexually assaulted.

“Investigators have spent months exhausting every possible lead in this incident and are now requesting help in identifying the suspect so they can be held accountable for their actions,” Const. Amanda Steed said in a news release.
