Peel police are looking for a suspect accused of attacking and sexually assaulting a 51-year-old Brampton woman Monday afternoon.
Officers say the suspect approached the woman from behind around 3 p.m., as she was walking her bike through Max Rice Community Park, near Highway 407 and McLaughlin Road South.
He allegedly dragged her into a secluded ravine area and violently attacked and sexually assaulted her.
He then fled west toward McLaughlin Road.
The victim described him as black, 16-18 years old, five-foot-seven, with a slim build, short afro and Caribbean accent.
Police say he may have been wearing a school uniform.
“(After the attack) several young persons came to the assistance of the vicitm and called 911. We are hoping that someone may have seen the suspect running away or loitering in the park or perhaps following this woman before the attack,” said Insp. Robert Strain.
