Earlier this week the Calgary Police service released surveillance video and photos of a man they want to speak with in connection to the attack, and now believe they know who he is.

However, as he is under age 18, his identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, meaning the images can no longer be shown. It’s believed he is still on the loose and police are trying to track him down.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact police.
