Police in Burnaby are re-upping efforts to identify a suspect they believe is responsible for three random assaults, including allegedly shoving an 89-year-old woman to the ground.
Burnaby RCMP released new images of the suspect, much more clear than previous pictures, on Sunday.
The higher quality images were found by police after a public tip of a SkyTrain incident that happened on April 19.
“We don’t want this suspect to harm anyone else, so please have a look at these photos”, said Cpl. Mike Kalanj with Burnaby RCMP.
“If you recognize this man, we’d like you to contact our investigators.”
On Thursday, Burnaby Mounties were called to Metrotown mall around 9:30 a.m. for an alleged assault on a senior woman. She was taken to hospital and has since been discharged, according to police.
Later that day, police said they learned the suspect had reportedly attack two other people.
The suspect is described as five-feet-seven-inches tall with a medium build. He was wearing a black jacket with white stripes and a green camouflage baseball cap.
Images from security video appear to show him with a full beard.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999.
