RCMP west of Edmonton are investigating after a woman said she was grabbed by a man while out for a jog.
On Thursday, Mounties released a composite sketch of the male suspect.
Spruce Grove RCMP said the woman was on the city’s trail system in the afternoon of Nov. 3 when it happened. Police said around 4:30 p.m., the woman was jogging near the soccer field on Heatherglen Drive when a man came up behind her.
