Prince George RCMP are asking for the public's help in a search for a man suspected of harassing a woman while she was out for a run in the Heritage neighbourhood.
The incident occurred on Saturday at about 9:30 a.m. while she was running along a path between Coreless Crescent and Claxton Avenue.
An unknown man began running to catch up to her, RCMP said, and she sped up just before he was able to reach her and made it to safety.
"Although no physical contact was had, the man's motives are not known," RCMP said.
Police learned of the incident via an email that had been sent to city hall and subsequently passed on to the RCMP.
"The Prince George RCMP would like to remind the public that the police are not able to take reports via e-mail. Reporting a crime to police must be done via the telephone or in person and should be done as soon as possible," RCMP said.
Anyone with information about the man or with external video surveillance in the area, is urged to contact the Prince George RCMP at 250-561-3300 or anonymously contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.pgcrimestoppers.bc.ca (English only).
You do not have to reveal your identity to Crime Stoppers. If you provide information that leads to an arrest, you could be eligible for a cash reward.
