Police investigating alleged assault of woman at Henderson Lake
LETHBRIDGE – Lethbridge Police are searching for a suspect, after a 24-year old woman reported that she was assaulted by an unknown male at Henderson Lake Thursday night (Aug. 17).
The woman called police around 10:30 p.m., saying that she had been walking south on the east side of the lake near a bridge, when she felt someone grab her arm. The unknown man then allegedly pushed her to the ground and attempted to remove her shorts. She was able to escape and ran to her car, where she then called police.
Officers searched the area with assistance from the K9 team, but were not able to locate a suspect.
The suspect is described as an Aboriginal male in his 20s, about six feet tall with dark hair. He was wearing a red shirt and jeans, and had a nickel-sized tattoo on his left cheek, similar to the pattern on a bandana.
