Woman robbed on Multi-Use Path NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca
A local Tofino woman was assaulted and robbed on Sunday night, Aug. 19, while walking home on the multi-use path (MUP), Tofino RCMP said. A media release from the Tofino RCMP detachment says the incident occurred between 11:30 p.m. and midnight in the 900 block of Campbell Street. “She was not sexually assaulted,” said Cst. Christopher Lemon. “It sounds like she was walking along the path and she walked passed a [man] and it looked like the [man] turned around and attacked her from behind.” The woman was assaulted, had money stolen from her, and was later found unconscious off of the path by people passing by, say Tofino RCMP. She suffered non-life threatening injuries from the attack. “She’s been released from the hospital and she is recovering,” said Cst. Lemon, adding that the victim couldn’t get a good look at her assailant due to poor lighting on the MUP. “It’s pitch black out there,” Cst. Lemon said. RCMP said the only description provided by the victim due to the poor lighting in the area is: male, approximately six feet tall, average build, shorter dark hair, possibly black [hair], and was wearing a wool poncho style hoody.
