More photos, video released of suspect in assault outside Winnipeg law courts

Winnipeg police have released more photos and a video of a suspect wanted after a woman was assaulted outside the Law Courts Building.

The 20-year-old victim was walking from St. Mary Avenue and Kennedy Street to the courthouse around 5:45 a.m. March 17 when police have said a man began to follow her.

As the woman reached the entrance to the building on Kennedy Street, the suspect approached the victim, leading to a struggle.

The woman fell, and the suspect touched her on the lower body, before fleeing. The victim was taken to hospital in stable condition.
