The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) continues to seek the public’s assistance to help identify a suspect involved in a sexual assault that took place in May.
On Thursday, May 26, 2022, police responded to the report of a sexual assault against a female in the area of 156 Street between 92 Avenue and 93A Avenue. It was reported that at approximately 8:20 p.m., a 19-year-old woman was walking in the area when a man sitting on the step of a nearby residence called out to her. The female continued to walk away when she noticed the male was following her. Moments later he attacked her from behind and assaulted her. A nearby citizen witnessed the incident and called out.
