  • Suspect in violent assault needs to be ID'd

Police in Vancouver are asking for the public's help in identifying a suspect in a violent assault on a woman near Vancouver's Oakridge SkyTrain station.

They say a woman in her 30s was walking near West 41st Avenue and Ontario Street at around 7:50 p-m Sunday when a man grabbed her from behind. 

Police say the woman fought off her attacker, who appeared to be in his late teens or early 20s, and he ran away, heading south on Ontario Street.

The suspect is described as having a dark complexion, is about five-foot-three inches tall and weighs about 170 pounds -- and police are asking anyone who may have recorded dash-camera footage in the area to contact them.
