  • 89 year old woman assaulted at Metrotown

Mounties in Burnaby are renewing their request for the public's help in identifying the suspect in an assault of an 89-year-old woman and two others at Metrotown on Thursday.

They say the elderly woman, who was shoved to the ground by the assailant, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police have released new, high resolution photos of the suspect, who is described as five-feet-seven-inches tall with a medium build, wearing a black jacket with white stripes and a green camouflage baseball cap.

Images from security video released by the R-C-M-P also appear to show that the man has a full beard.
