Last month, a 14-year-old boy was heading back to Clayton Heights Secondary after lunch when he noticed he was being followed.
On Sept. 30 at about 11:45 a.m., the young teen was near Extra Foods in the 18700-block of Fraser Highway when he noticed the stranger, who approached and grabbed him briefly.
The teen pushed the attacker away and ran back to school.
The boy was uninjured.
The suspect is described as a Caucasian male in his late 50s, about 6’1” with a slim build who was wearing a black hoodie with the hood up and light blue jeans. He had a grey beard.
