CALGARY – Police are looking to the public for help identifying a man believed to be connected to the sexual assault of a woman aboard a Calgary CTrain.

Police say the 18-year-old victim was standing on the platform at Kerby Station around 5 p.m. on Tuesday, May 5th when she was approached by a stranger.

The man began speaking with the woman and followed her onto her train.

When aboard the CTrain, the suspect began touching the woman, holding the back of her neck, putting his arm around her and attempting to grab her bag.

At the next stop, the woman was pulled off the train by the man. Once on the platform the man began to kiss her and tried to stop her from running away.

The woman called a family member who in turn phoned police. Once the man heard police were on their way, he left the area.
