Surrey RCMP are warning the public after a woman was allegedly robbed and sexually assaulted near the King George SkyTrain station Friday night.
Police say the woman was walking towards Fraser Highway under the Expo Line around 10:45 p.m, when a man approached her with a weapon.
The man robbed the woman, then pulled her into the bushes and sexually assaulted her, say police.
The man then fled, and the woman was able to call for help. She was taken to hospital where she was treated for minor physical injuries, and is getting support from victim services.
