Dauphin RCMP are asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect after an 82-year-old male was assaulted earlier this week.
The incident occurred on June 2, at approximately 6:50 p.m., outside a residential address on the 200-block of Main Street North in Dauphin.
A male suspect who didn’t live at the multi-unit residence was going through garbage behind the building when he was told by the victim to leave. The suspect grabbed the victim, who was walking down a set of stairs, and punched him, then pulled him down the rest of the staircase by a leg.
The victim suffered minor injuries.
The suspect was last seen walking southbound down the back alley.
RCMP are releasing photos of the suspect in the hope someone can identify him. He appears to be at least 5’11”, thin and wearing a red jacket or sweater with white lettering on the front. The suspect was also wearing black shoes with white soles and what appears to be red lettering or logo near the toes.
Anyone with information on the suspect’s identity, or any other aspect of this incident, is asked to call Dauphin RCMP at 204-622-5050, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or leave a secure tip online at www.manitobacrimestoppers.com.
