Masked man assaults two teen girls in Mission park Friday night
MISSION — Mission RCMP are hoping to identify a masked man who assaulted two teenage girls in Centennial Park Friday night.
Police responded to reports of the incident near the intersection of Taulbut Street and 11th Avenue just after 9 p.m. on June 6. A masked man kicked one of the girls off her e-scooter and pushed the other to the ground. He then tried to take the scooter, left it, and stole one girl’s iPhone after it fell to the ground.
“It was still daylight at the time and there were numerous other people in the park and outside in the area,” wrote Mission RCMP. “A good neighbour ran up to intervene, and the offender ran off in the direction of 14th Avenue, but was not located.”
The girls, 15 and 16 years old, only suffered minor physical injuries but have been left with a traumatic experience.
