Winnipeg police have released a photo of a man and woman they’re calling “persons of interest” after a 76-year-old woman was assaulted earlier this month.
The assault happened Aug. 7 around 7:40 a.m. in the 200 block of Pacific Avenue, according to police.
Their investigation determined the senior was assaulted while walking in the area, then assaulted a second time shortly afterward while still injured on the ground.
It took two-and-a-half hours before someone called for help, police previously said.
The woman was taken to hospital in critical condition but has since been upgraded to stable.
