A Winnipeg man suspected in a sexual assault on a transit bus has turned himself in, police say.
The incident took place on the morning of June 17 on a St. Vital-area bus. A 19-year-old Winnipeg woman told police she had been riding the bus around 11:15 a.m. when an unknown man sat beside her and touched her lower body inappropriately.
The man followed her off the bus but then went in another direction.
