Police are looking for a suspect after they believe a man tried to sexually assault a 63-year-old woman in Edmonton’s Mill Creek Ravine on Monday morning.
In a news release, police said between 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., the woman was walking north on a trail in the ravine near 97 Street and 92 Avenue.

“At this time, investigators believe the attack was sexually motivated.”
Detectives with the Edmonton Police Service’s sexual assault section continue to investigate, police said.
