SURREY — Transit Police hope the public can help identify a man who allegedly groped a young woman on a Surrey bus last week.

Last Friday around 1 p.m. a woman boarded a 319 bus at the Scottsdale Exchange and moved to the back of the bus.

A short while later, the young woman is said to have seen another passenger yelling at a man to stop staring.

As the bus pulled into Newton exchange, police say the woman stood up to get off the bus and felt herself being groped from behind. It appears to be the same man the other passenger had yelled at previously.

The woman then left the bus, went to her place of work and called police.

The suspect was later seen on video leaving the Scott Road SkyTrain Station, where he is said to have been seen staring at another young woman.

The man is described as an Indo Canadian male, approximately 35 years old and was wearing a long sleeved dark blue cotton shirt, jeans and brown casual shoes.

Anyone with information about the suspect’s identify is asked to call 604-515-8300 or text 87-77-77.
