Police in Mission, B.C., are looking for a man accused of assaulting two teen girls and stealing one of their phones.
The incident happened around 9 p.m. on Friday in Centennial Park.
Mission RCMP said the girls, aged 15 and 16, were near Taulbut Street and 11th Avenue when a masked man kicked one of them off her e-scooter, knocking her to the ground, and shoved her companion down as well.
The man tried to grab the scooter, but left it when he spotted one of their phones on the ground and grabbed it instead, Mounties said.
The suspect fled when bystanders intervened and was last seen running in the direction of 14th Avenue.
