The victim was jogging near Mallard Point at the time.

“It is believed the man had been observing the woman near the on-site bathrooms before the incident occurred,” police said in a Monday news release.

“The suspect continued to ride the e-scooter towards the community of Douglasdale.”

No details were shared by police about the second assault, which happened at 5:10 p.m.

The suspect is described as approximately 6’ tall (183 centimetres) with blond hair.

He was wearing black pants, a red hooded sweatshirt with the hood pulled up over his head and a white backpack with colourful spots.

Police say while on the scooter, the suspect was playing music on a speaker.
