But now investigating officers say police believe the suspect was nearly struck by a passing vehicle after the “indecent act” happened.

“Witness(es) recall a vehicle nearly striking a man and then honking at him as he crossed Central Blvd. northbound near Bennett Street (Bonsor Recreation Complex area) after the incident. It appears the man left the area northbound on Bennett Street,” a release from the Burnaby RCMP explained.

“You might have the information we are looking for,” he added.
