LANGFORD — Police on Vancouver Island are looking for a suspect after a girl was sexually assaulted at a bus stop.
West Shore RCMP say the attack happened Tuesday at around 3 p.m. in Langford, a suburb of Victoria.
Police say the girl was at the bus stop near Jacklin Road and Station Avenue when she was approached by the stranger.
The man had a short conversation with the girl before sexually assaulting her and then leaving the scene.
Police say she wasn't physically hurt, and there have been no similar attacks reported but investigators are prioritizing the identification of the suspect.
He is described as a man in his early- to mid-30s, about five-foot eight-inches tall with a brown mullet and short facial hair, and he was wearing a white T-shirt and an orange wristband at the time of the attack.
