Coquitlam RCMP arrest assault suspect

COQUITLAM — Mounties in Coquitlam are looking for witnesses and video of what they call a brazen stranger assault that left the victim with minor injuries.

Police says they responded to a call Thursday night after a witness reported a woman was being assaulted by a man while walking alone.

They say witnesses and police followed the man as he left the scene, and officers quickly found and arrested him in a nearby store.

R-C-M-P say the man is known to the police and he is being held in custody until his next court appearance.
