RCMP have released a sketch of a suspect in an attack on the University of British Columbia campus last week.

Police are still seeking witnesses after a woman was seriously injured March 7. Officers say she was trying to break up what appeared to be a domestic dispute in the basement of the Centre for Advanced Wood Processing.

They said the woman suffered serious but non life-threatening injuries.  

Police said they were not able to find the pair involved in the fight, but two people — a man and woman — were seen running from the area separately. 

Police are looking for the man, whom they described as:

  • Asian
  • 6 feet tall
  • Mid-20s
  • Dark eyes and hair
  • Square face
  • Deep voice with a slight accent 

The man may have scratches on the right side of his face and neck. 

He was last seen wearing a black puffy jacket, dark jeans and white shoes.
