Niagara sex assault

Police are looking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect in a Niagara Falls sex assault.

Monday afternoon, police responded to an assault at the Embassy Suites Hotel on Fallsview Boulevard.

A woman employed at the hotel was in a stairwell near the 17th floor around 2:20 pm, when she encountered a man who physically and sexually assaulted her.

Police are looking for a white man, around six foot two inches tall who is clean shaven with an athletic build.

He was last seen wearing a t-shirt, jeans and running shoes.

The victim has been treated and released from hospital.

A similar incident happened at the hotel back in 2009 and remains unsolved.

Anyone with information is asked to call police.
