Police have arrested a man accused of peeking under stalls in a women's washroom at the University of Winnipeg.

Police were called to the U of W on June 13 at 2 p.m. CT to investigate reports about a man in one of the women's washrooms.

A university staff member told police she walked in and saw a man crawling on the washroom floor, looking under stalls and between cracks in stall doors.

"This must have been a really traumatic situation," Const. Rob Carver said. "The staff member yelled and the male fled."

The Winnipeg police sex crimes unit arrested a 22-year-old man who will be charged with voyeurism, Carver said. He was released on a promise to appear in court.

His name has not been released because the charges have yet to be formally laid, Carver said.

The incident is unrelated to a similar case that happened the same day at The Forks, Carver said.

A suspect put a camera beneath a stall and tried to film NDP MLA Nahanni Fontaine in the washroom at the Johnston Terminal on June 13. Carver said police have footage that indicates different suspects were involved in each case.
