A reported sexual assault in broad daylight over the weekend has Saskatoon police on the lookout for a suspect and vehicle.

Police said the assault happened Saturday around 4 p.m. when a 19-year-old woman was forced into a vehicle near Avenue R and Rusholme Road in Saskatoon’s Mount Royal neighbourhood.
