On Oct. 12 at 11:56 p.m., the Kelowna RCMP received a report than a woman was assaulted by an unknown male suspect while walking in the area of Elliot Avenue and Richter Street in the city.
Police say the suspect is be lived to have chased after the woman, tackled her to the ground and dragged her onto a residential property.
The victim resisted managed to free herself and ran from her attacker then flagged down a passing motorist.
“Since the incident, a specially trained forensic artist travelled to the B.C. interior to meet personally with the victim at the Kelowna RCMP detachment,” said RCMP spokesman Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey. “Working with our witness in a cognitive interview setting, the artist created a composite sketch of the assault suspect.”
