At 6:00 pm, Abbotsford Police Patrol Officers responded to a reported sexual assault that occurred on the grounds of John Maclure Elementary School in the 2900 block of Oriole Crescent. The victim was walking through the school’s playing field when the male suspect approached her from behind and pushed her down. The victim was able to free herself, and ran southbound across George Ferguson Way to an open business, where she received help.
