Ottawa police are seeking a suspect in a robbery reported last month in Kanata.
Police say the incident took place around 8 p.m. in the area of Teron and Beaverbrook roads on Sept. 20.
A 14-year-old male approached another man to offer assistance after the teenager saw him fall from his bike, police say.
The two began walking together when the man who had originally fallen pushed the victim down an embankment, assaulted him and demanded his phone, according to a police account. Police say the victim did not require medical assistance at the time.
