Abbotsford police are looking for witnesses and video as they investigate a sexual assault alleged to have happened early Saturday morning.

Police say it happened around 1:15 a.m. near South Fraser Way and the 2600 block of West Bourquin Crescent.

The woman had flagged down a police vehicle to report the unprovoked assault by a stranger.

She had previously tried to flag down several passing vehicles, police said. The victim was treated in hospital for non-life-threatening injuries and released later Saturday.
