Patrol officers were called to a business in the 600-block of Belleville Street late in the afternoon for a report of a sexual assault. A woman told police a man had approached her in a bathroom and sexually assaulted her. A bystander, who was also in the bathroom, intervened and the suspect took off. The victim was not physically injured and did not require medical attention. Police were able to gather a description of the suspect and began to search for him.
Just after 10:30 p.m.Thursday night, Patrol officers attended a parkade in the 500-block of Yates Street for a report that a male was committing an indecent act while following a female. The victim's description of the suspect matched the description of the suspect from the sexual assault, which had occurred a few hours earlier. Officers located the suspect and took him into custody without further incident.
The male faces recommended charges for the indecent act.
The sexual assault investigation remains ongoing.
