Shortly before 2:30 p.m. on September 24, 2023, a 65-year old woman was walking her dog near the north west corner of Moffatt Road and Blundell Road. The dog walker was approached by a suspect, a woman possibly in her 30’s. The suspect allegedly struck the dog-walker in the face then proceeded to pour some type of beverage over her before fleeing the area on foot.
