A man wanted on warrants in the sexual assault of a woman in Confederation Park in northwest Calgary has been found, police said Saturday.
They say the suspect, 28-year-old Ethan Cole, was found in the afternoon and remains in custody pending a bail hearing.
Police say the incident happened just after 8 p.m. along a pathway in the park west of 10 Street NW on Oct. 3.
While the victim was walking with her headphones on, she noticed a man looking at her, who then approached her to speak.
Officers say he told her his name and age, and then proceeded to make an “unwanted sexual proposition,” causing the woman to walk away alarmed.
The man then followed her, pushed her down from behind, and sexually assaulted her. Investigators add she fought back, leading the suspect to flee on foot.
Investigators made a public plea for help Saturday after issuing an arrest warrant, and attempts to find the suspect failed.
Anyone with information about Cole and his whereabouts is asked to call Calgary police at 403-266-1234 or leave a tip anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
