Vancouver police investigating sexual assault near UBC
Police say woman jogging near West 16 Avenue and Discovery Street was thrown to ground
Vancouver police are investigating a sexual assault that happened early this morning in west Point Grey.
Const. Brian Montague says a 30-year-old woman was jogging near West 16 Avenue and Discovery Street.
Montague says a man approached her and she was thrown to the ground, then sexually assaulted.
He says the woman suffered minor injuries.
The assault comes just one week after a sexual assault at nearby UBC in which a suspect was arrested.
Police are also looking for another assailant who sexually assaulted an 18-year-old woman on campus in February.
In 2013, UBC RCMP said a string of six sexual assaults that year on campus were likely connected.
Police have not made any arrests in this latest incident.
A team of investigators is in the neighbourhood conducting a door-to-door canvass of the area.
