RCMP have released a composite sketch of a suspect who followed a woman to her car and tried to assault her in the parking lot of CrossIron Mills.
The incident happened around 3:45 p.m. in the afternoon of December 28.
Luckily, other shoppers saw it and scared the man away.
Mounties say the encounter started inside the mall, when the man approached the woman and attempted to strike up a conversation.
She said no, but the man again approached while she was walking to her vehicle, made threatening comments and grabbed her by the arm, before the passersby intervened.
The suspect is described as a white man in his late 20s or early 30s, medium height, thin, with dark brown hair and an unshaven, scruff.
