Burnaby RCMP are investigating a report of a teenage boy who was sexually assaulted by a man at a public swimming pool this week.
The incident occurred Sunday after the man, estimated to be in his 40s or 50s, struck up a conversation with the teen, then touched the boy inappropriately.
The suspect is described as a dark-skinned man with an accent who is between 45 and 55.
He has a medium build, large nose, grey hair with a bald spot on top of his head, a very hairy chest and a thin grey moustache.
At the time of the assault the man was wearing red swim trucks, police said.
Burnaby Mounties are also investigating an unrelated stabbing Saturday night at the Holdom SkyTrain station, where a man and women were arguing and the man stabbed a passerby who laughed as he went by the couple.
The passerby initially thought he had been punched by the arguing man because he felt a pain in his side.
But when he met a friend on the train platform, he realized he was bleeding and had been stabbed.
He was later treated in hospital and released.
The stabbing suspect is described as a man in his 20s who is five-foot-five (165 cm) who was wearing "gangster type clothing," police said.
Anyone with information about either incident is asked to call Burnaby RCMP at (604) 294-7922.
Meanwhile, Burnaby RCMP said today that investigators still are seeking to speak to several people who are believed to have witnessed a serious assault about 11 p.m. May 11 outside the House of Wings restaurant at Highgate Mall, located at Kingsway and Hall Avenue.
The victim remains in critical condition in hospital.
The Burnaby RCMP Serious Crime Unit believes there still are witnesses to the aggravated assault who have not yet spoken to investigators, who urge the witnesses to come forward.
