A man has been arrested and charged after allegedly chasing a woman and threatening her in Surrey’s Ocean Park neighbourhood last month.

In an update on Monday, the Surrey RCMP said on July 6 it received a report about an incident that happened on June 22, where a man reportedly chased a woman and threatened to harm her on 18 Avenue near 136 Street.

“The victim was able to run away to safety. No contact was made between the suspect and the victim,” Corp. Sarbjit Sangha said.

On Sunday, Mounties arrested 36-year-old Ricki Randall Taysup in relation to the incident. Taysup has since been charged with uttering threats and remains in custody awaiting his next court appearance slated for July 11.

Last week, posts on social media by South Surrey residents claimed a person was roaming residential areas, allegedly harassing women and girls.
