BURNABY (NEWS1130) – Burnaby RCMP are asking for your help to find the person involved in what police are calling an unprovoked assault that happened last Friday morning.

Just before 10:30 a.m. a woman was walking eastbound on the south side of Kingsway and was stopped at a light at McKay Avenue when a man, standing next to her, stabbed her in the leg with a needle. There was something in the syringe, but that information isn’t being released right now.

She was treated in the hospital and released soon after.

“While the nature of this incident is a significant concern for police, it is also highly unusual. As of today, we’ve had no other reported incidents,” says Inspector Bob Page. “The suspect’s description stands out and we remain hopeful that someone will identify him. That’s why we are urging the public to share the suspect’s description with your families and friends.”

The suspect is described as a dark-skinned man with dyed, short blond hair. He’s about 35-years-old and 5’7″ tall. He was wearing a light blue tank top, dark jeans and was carrying three shopping bags.

If you know anything about this case or were in the area at the time, you are asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604.294.7922 or CrimeStoppers at 1.800.222.TIPS (8477).
