Story from September 5th. 

Red Deer RCMP are looking for public assistance to identify a suspect after a teenage boy was stabbed in City Hall Park in the early morning of August 31 during an attempted robbery. 

RCMP were called to the downtown park at 12:30 am on August 31 in response to a report of a 15 year old male with a non-life-threatening stab wound under his chin.

The youth was approached in the park by a man who displayed a knife and demanded his possessions.

The two struggled, the youth was assaulted and cut, and the suspect then fled the scene on a bicycle. 

The victim was treated at hospital and received a number of stitches before being released the same night; the suspect was not known to the victim. 

The suspect is described as:

•         Aboriginal

•         Approximately 18 – 20 years old

•         Black hair

•         Thick eyebrows

•         Pock-marked skin

•         A fit/ somewhat muscular build

•         Shirtless, wearing grey shin-length cargo pants and a grey baseball cap with a purple bill.
