The suspect is described as a Caucasian man, around 5ft 8, with a medium build. He was seen wearing a dark hooded jacket.

Officers are still investigating two other recent sexual assaults. On Jan. 29, a similar situation occured on Springer Avenue, near Braelawn Drive. Late last month, a woman was attacked near the popular Burnaby Mountain Urban Trail.

RCMP do not believe this latest incident is connected to the previous incidents.
