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.

The offender was seen wearing a ski mask, a black hoodie with a large red or orange logo on the front, black skinny jeans and black shoes. He was not known to the girls.

Anyone who does recognize him or saw someone matching his description in the area that night is asked to call Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161 and quote file number 25-6584.

Residents in the area of Grand Street and 14th Avenue are also asked to check their CCTV cameras for footage of the offender from 8:50 p.m. to 9:20 p.m. on June 6.
