On Oct. 6, the victim and her friend were walking down 15th Avenue S.E. when she was struck in the face at around 4:50 p.m., with the attacker escaping on foot. The victim sustained minor injuries and went home and contacted police.
According to Calgary police, neither the assailant nor the victim knew each other, and police have determined the attack was “unprovoked.”
“The randomness of this assault against an elderly woman who was out enjoying an afternoon walk is extremely concerning,” said Staff Sgt. Mike Sushelnitsky, of the District 1 General Investigations Unit, in a Tuesday press release. “Everyone deserves to feel safe in our city.”
