Comox Valley RCMP are asking for witnesses and potential victims to a Courtenay assault.
The incident happened at 2:28 p.m. on April 29, where a man walked around Driftwood Mall assaulting people and had allegedly punched a customer.
Police say the man was described to be in his mid-30’s, wearing a beige hoodie with pants around his knees, and was accompanied by a woman wearing a blue denim jacket.
After getting the report, officers found a man nearby matching the description, but when approached by them, the man attempted to flee before being arrested.
Officers say while one person told a security officer they were punched in the chest, that person left the area before police arrived.
“As a result, investigators have not been able to locate or speak with the victim,” said Comox Valley RCMP.
“It’s possible there were other witnesses or individuals affected who have not yet come forward.”
If you were in the area of the incident around 2:30 p.m. that day and saw what happened, or you have relevant information, call Comox Valley RCMP at 250-338-1321.
