Woman assaulted while walking at Assiniboine Park Sunday, Winnipeg police say
Officers say man is in custody but no charges have been laid yet
A man is in police custody after a woman was assaulted while walking on a path beside Roblin Boulevard at Assiniboine Park on Sunday afternoon.
A 25-year-old woman was walking east on the path near Commissary Road around 1:30 p.m. when she was assaulted, police said in a news release on Thursday.
A man demanded money while assaulting her, until several witnesses in the area intervened and he fled, police said.
Paramedics were called about a man needing a medic on Commissary Road, which runs through the park, around 5:30 p.m. the same day. The man was taken to hospital in stable condition, where police identified him as a suspect in the robbery.
No charges have been laid yet, but police said the man remains in custody on an unrelated and unendorsed warrant.
