Mounties in White Rock are hoping to identify a man suspected of assaulting two elderly people last month.

The White Rock RCMP says an unknown man exited an SUV at the intersection of North Bluff Road and Johnston Street on April 11 around 4:15 p.m. and assaulted two elderly pedestrians crossing at a marked crosswalk.

“The assault was serious enough to send one of the victims to the hospital with lacerations on their head,” police said in a release Friday.

As the suspect drove away before officers arrived, the RCMP is now seeking witnesses to help identify the man.

He is described as 45 to 50 years old, 5’10” tall with a heavy build, and was wearing a light-coloured shirt and grey pants.

Police have released two images from CCTV footage of the incident.
