VPD release attacker sketch

Vancouver Police have released a sketch of a suspect believed to be responsible for the sexual assault of a woman on Napier Street early Sunday morning.

On June 19 at about 2 a.m., a woman was walking on Napier Street, near Victoria Drive, when an unidentified man approached her from behind, pushed her to the ground and sexually assaulted her.

The woman managed to scream and fight off her attacker who walked away.

The suspect is described as white, between 35-to-45 years old, about 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds – with short, brown hair, a receding hairline and a full red beard.

The suspect was wearing a dark-coloured hoody, dark shirt, dark camouflage cargo pants and possibly boots.

Police have appealed to the public for information that would help identify the attacker and hope the composite sketch will prompt some calls.

Anyone with information about the suspect or the sexual assault is asked to call the Vancouver Police Sex Crimes Unit at 604-717-0602, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222 8477.
