Portage la Prairie RCMP are looking for a teen suspected in multiple assaults.

Wyatt Martin-French, 17, is wanted in two separate incidents on Sept. 1, involving attacks with bear mace on Spruce Bay and 6th Street NE in Portage.

RCMP made a special application to a youth justice judge to identify the suspect, as they have reason to believe he may be a danger to others. An underage offender typically wouldn’t be identified by police under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Police said Martin-French is considered dangerous and shouldn’t be approached by the public.
