Seeking public assistance in sexual assault investigation

We are investigating a sexual assault that occurred early this morning in southwest Calgary and are looking for the public’s help.

At approximately 1:15 a.m., today, Sunday, March 10, 2024, a woman was waiting at a bus stop located on 37 Street S.W., between 26 Avenue and 28 Avenue, when she was approached by an unknown man. The man, who was armed with a crowbar, demanded the woman follow him behind a nearby business, where the man physically and sexually assaulted the woman. A nearby neighbour heard the victim’s calls for help and interrupted the assault, causing the suspect to flee on foot. The Good Samaritan then called police and the victim was transported to hospital.

Officers searched the area, however, were unable to locate the suspect.

The suspect is described as a slim White male, approximately 5’11” tall, with short hair. He was wearing a white T-shirt and light-blue jeans.

Investigators are also in the process of collecting CCTV from the area. Anyone, including residents or businesses, who has CCTV from around the area is asked to contact police.
