An 18-year-old Winnipeg man is in custody facing charges after an incident on Charleswood‘s Harte Trail Wednesday evening.
A woman in her 40s told police she was walking on the trail near Harstone Road and Buckingham Road around 6 p.m., when she crossed paths with a man.
They continued walking in opposite directions, but the woman said she heard footsteps running toward her and turned to see the man sprinting in her direction while trying to undo his pants.
The woman knocked the man to the ground and called for help. He ran off when another person came along.
