The Surrey RCMP is warning the public after a teenage girl was allegedly assaulted by a stranger on Tuesday.
The alleged incident occurred around 9:15 a.m. in the area of 154 Street and 101A Avenue, where a 16-year-old girl was walking, police said.
Investigators said a man allegedly grabbed the girl by the arm and tried to walk her towards a parked vehicle.
The girl broke free and fled, police said.
The suspect is described as a clean-shaven man in his early 20s with tanned skin or a ruddy complexion who stands approximately six feet tall and has a medium build.
Police say the suspect had a chisel-shaped jaw and a pointy nose. He was wearing a grey hoodie with brownish pants and red shoes. The vehicle is described as a small, silver sedan from the early 2000s that may be a Kia or a Subaru.
Police are looking to speak with witnesses or obtain dashcam video from anyone who was in the area between 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.
