Woman Grabbed By Elderly Man

London police are trying to track down an elderly man accused of inappropriately touching a woman on a walk last week.

The woman was walking along the south side of Gainsborough Rd. near Limberlost Rd. when the man grabbed her by the wrists around 1:45pm last Wednesday. The man then said something in an unknown language and touched the woman inappropriately, according to police.

The woman was able to break free from the man and run away.

Police are now looking for a man described as Asian, approximately 5’4”, 60-70 years old, partially bald with short black/grey hair, with darker skin and medium build. The man appeared confused and walked with a limp and a cane. He was wearing brown pants and a light-coloured, shorted-sleeved collared shirt.

Anyone with information about this incident or who can help identify the man is asked to call police at 519-661-5670, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
