Whistler police are on the lookout for a male suspect after a woman reported being followed on a stretch of Valley Trail this weekend.
At about 11:50 p.m. on Sunday, July 21, the woman was walking on the trail between the Meadow Park Sports Centre and the Nesters Road retail complex when a man "jumped from the bushes, pushed her and then closely followed her," police said in a release.
The woman immediately called a friend and stayed on the line until the friend met up with her and escorted her home. The suspect reportedly fled the scene once he noticed the friend had arrived to help.
The man is described as Hispanic, approximately six-feet (183 centimetres) tall with a stocky build and short black hair. At the time, he was wearing a white collared shirt, khaki pants and white Nike running shoes with white soles.
Anyone with information that could assist police in identifying the suspect is asked to contact the Whistler RCMP at 604-932-3044, or Sea to Sky Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 to remain anonymous.
