Woman sexually assaulted by man who offered ride home after Canada Day: Edmonton police
Edmonton police are looking for help identifying a man suspected of offering a woman a ride home, but instead taking her to a secluded area and sexually assaulting her around Canada Day. The incident happened around 1:30 a.m. on July 2, when a woman near Jasper Avenue and 113 Street was attempting to secure an Uber ride home. That's when police said an unknown man in a car stopped and offered her a ride for free. Police have since confirmed the suspect is not an Uber driver, and did not identify himself as such when offering the ride. When the woman got into the vehicle, police said the man drove her to a residential construction site in the Blatchford neighbourhood and sexually assaulted her. He then drove away, leaving the woman behind in the sparsely-populated under-construction area of central Edmonton.
