On Wednesday evening, July 7 around 7:30 p.m., a van was stopped in the turn- around area of the parking lot immediately west of the band shell in Victoria Park.

Four males were standing outside the van. As a 16 year old girl passed by them, one of the males tried to engage her in a conversation to which the victim continued to walk past them.

The male then grabbed her shoulder and ended up pushing her causing the victim to strike her head and the left side of her body on the rear corner of the van.

The girl then walked away quickly into an area where more people were around.

Police were called and collected the following information. The van is described as being a full-sized panel van, dark grey with a window in the passenger side sliding door. The van also displayed a yellow rear licence plate, possibly a dealer plate.

After the assault, the van sped off squealing its tires in the process. The victim did not suffer any injuries as a result of the assault and no attempt was made to coerce or force her into the van.
