Saskatoon police are searching for a man who allegedly assaulted a girl who refused to get into his truck.
The 15-year-old girl told police she was approached by a man driving a white truck Monday afternoon while walking in an alley in the 3200-block of Milton Street.

She was treated at Saskatoon police headquarters by paramedics for minor injuries.
The man is described as roughly 50 years old, approximately six-foot tall with a medium build, grey hair and a grey and white mustache with stubble. He was wearing a black jacket and black pants.
