(Ottawa) - On Friday, Dec. 27, 2013, a woman in her late 20s who agreed to get into an unknown man's green vehicle on McArthur Avenue - in the late afternoon, early evening - was driven to an unknown location, possibly in the East end. The man and woman got out of the vehicle and walked to a wooded area where the man sexually assaulted and choked her. The victim suffered minor injuries.
The woman was able to flee the scene and was later assisted by a man, driving a red van. He picked her up and drove her to the area of Blake Boulevard and Lafontaine Avenue.
The male suspect is described as a white male, in his 40s, with a white beard and long hair and spoke English. He was driving an older model green 4-door vehicle.
The Ottawa Police interviewed the victim this week to gather further information about the suspect.
