The suspect was described as 5’7″ to 5’8″ tall, wearing a grey hoodie and a grey-looking backpack.
Officers later detained a man in the area with a similar description shortly after the attack. Following an investigation the man was not charged.
“Thankfully the victim was not physically harmed,” Cpl. Scotty Schumann of Surrey RCMP said in a statement. “Investigators are hoping someone may have spotted a similar looking person in this area and come forward with that information. Any detail, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, could be what solves a crime.”
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.
