Police say the man left the train at Dalhousie Station
Calgary police are looking for a man suspected of sexually assaulting a woman on the C-Train earlier this month.
The woman was on a northwest-bound C-Train on July 7 around 3:40 p.m. when she was approached by a man who sat near her and began chatting, police said in a release.
It's believed the man touched the woman's arms before grabbing her "inappropriately." She then moved to the other end of the C-Train car and the man disembarked the train at Dalhousie Station.
Police shared a video of the suspect boarding the C-Train at Banff Trail Station and leaving it at Dalhousie.
The suspect is described as:
- Male, with a long grey and white beard.
- Approximately 45- to 65-years-old.
- Between five foot 10 inches and six feet tall.
- Weighing 165 to 185 pounds.
- Wearing a white turban, sunglasses or glasses, a white shirt and pants, black vest, dark dress shoes, a gold watch with brown strap and carrying a black shoulder bag.
