Battlefords RCMP say they are investigating a reported assault on the 1900 block of 101st Street around 6:30 pm on Wednesday Oct. 4.
According to police, the female victim reported being followed by a male suspect while walking down the sidewalk. The suspect was reported to have walked up to the victim and body checked her with his shoulder, before slapping/grabbing at her buttocks. The male then laughed, and left the area on foot.
The suspect is described as being a First Nations male between 14-15 years of age, wearing a hoodie, white shoes, diamond earings and a flat brim hat with a grey and/or white brim.
Acording to the RCMP the suspect had earlier been seen in the vicinity of the 1900 block of 104th St. in the company of three other males. These three individuals left in an older maroon-coloured truck described as having noticeable rust, a cab in the back and wave patterns on the side. These males were yelling at the victim as they drove away, but otherwise did not interact with her.
