Police want to catch this man with his pants down, but women cautioned
VANCOUVER (Aug 4) – A man who ambushes women while he is naked from the waist down, then sexually attacks them, has sparked a warning from the RCMP following two incidents around Nanaimo on Vancouver Island.
“The public is being advised to use extreme caution after a female hiker was sexually assaulted while walking along Westwood Lake yesterday afternoon,” RCMP spokesman Const. Gary O’Brien said.
A woman, 23, was near a bridge at the north end of the lake approximately 2.5 kilometres from the main gate when she was confronted by a “partially clothed” man, he said.
” He tapped her on the shoulder and as she turned she noticed he was naked from the waist down. His face was covered with a yellow T-shirt and his eyes were blocked with a floppy black hat. He had at least one days growth of hair on his chin and it was sprinkled with “salt and pepper hair”
“The disgusted female had a few words with the male and turned away from him. The suspect then ran towards her, reached around her and attempted to rip off her top and in doing so sexually assaulted her,” he said.
The woman struck the man and yelled for help. A couple walking nearby came to her help as the suspect fled.
police said the incident is similar to another on July 26 at the Upper Collier Dam.
A 35-year-old woman who was walking her two dogs was startled by a man who jumped out of the bushes in front of the woman. He was also naked from the waist down.
” His face was covered with a bright green T-shirt and he was wearing a black New York Yankees baseball cap .He also had on white socks and black shoes,” said O’Brien.
“The female told the male she was going to call the police and upon hearing this the male ran off,” he said.
Police are looking for a white man, 35 to 45 years with medium length dark hair and tanned skin. He is described as very skinny.
Anyone with information on these two incidents is asked to contact the Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-22-TIPS(8477)
