Quick thinking by a North Battleford woman prevented her from being further assaulted in an incident early Saturday morning, according to Battlefords RCMP.
Police say the woman was entering her home on Gregory Drive at about 1 a.m. when she was attacked by an unknown man, who threatened her with a knife. During a brief struggle the woman was able to activate an audible alarm and her attacker fled.
The perpetrator is described as a young Caucasian, with dyed blonde hair down near the nape of his neck, wearing a black toque, a long coat with dark clothing and wearing multiple silver hoop style earrings.
The investigation is continuing and anyone with information is asked to contact the North Battleford RCMP at 1-306-446-1720 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
