Red Deer RCMP are looking for answers after a shocking assault last week.
RCMP said a man was walking along the Kerry Wood Drive path near Overdown Drive around 8:30 p.m. on Jan. 18 when he was attacked by three men.
The victim was assaulted and robbed of his hockey equipment, then his clothing was set on fire as the suspects took off toward Bower Ponds.
He was able to put out the flames and suffered only minor injuries.
RCMP said they only have vague descriptions of the attackers, who were all wearing balaclavas. One of them had a pompom on top and was wearing a darker grey snowboard jacket, jeans, and beige boots.
