Police search for man who sexually assaulted jogger in Coach Hill
Woman was groped near Coach Hill Road and Bow Trail S.W.
Calgary police say they are looking for a man who sexually assaulted a woman jogging in Coach Hill early Tuesday morning.
At around 5 a.m., the woman was jogging south from Coach Hill Road S.W. toward Bow Trail S.W. when she passed a man who was walking north.
Police said the man yelled at the woman before charging her and touching her sexually without her consent.
The woman screamed and ran away, then called police.
The man was last seen running south toward Bow Trail S.W.
He's described as Caucasian, five feet five inches and 20 to 30 years old, with a medium build and a day's growth beard. He was wearing a dark-coloured tuque, a dark T-shirt with a red and black plaid shirt tied around his waist and baggy blue jeans, police said.
Police said they are looking to speak with any witnesses or anyone who has information about the man's identity or location. Anyone with information can call 403-266-1234, or contact Crime Stoppers anonymously.
"No one deserves to be victimized, and there are some things joggers can do to improve their safety while exercising outdoors," police said.
Recommendations include jogging with others, staying in well-lit areas and not wearing earbuds.
Police also said those jogging alone should tell someone where they are going and when they expect to return, or share their location through GPS on their phone.
