Montreal Police Sexual Assault investigators are asking the public to help identify a suspect who may be linked to an incident of indecent acts and sexual touching towards a minor, which occurred last April on a bus in Town of Mount Royal.

On April 11, around 4:45 p.m., on board the 165 Côte-des-Neiges bus, the individual allegedly masturbated in front of the victim before following her off the bus, where he then allegedly committed sexual touching.

The individual is a white English-speaking male, in his twenties. At the time of the incident, he had short hair and a few days of stubble. He was wearing a pale blue hooded jacket with dice patterns on the back and baggy jeans.

The SPVM is releasing a video and images captured by surveillance cameras that could help identify the individual. Anyone with information related to this investigation is asked to contact 911 or their local police station. It is also possible to report the incident anonymously and confidentially to Info-Crime Montréal at 514 393-1133 or online. n
