Woman attacked with bear spray in Evergreen

Saskatoon police are looking for suspects who allegedly bear sprayed and hit a woman in the Evergreen neigbourhood.

At around 11 p.m Monday, the 22-year-old victim was walking home in the 800 block of Sauer Lane. Her alleged attackers came up from behind and deployed bear spray in her face.

They then tried to steal her backpack and struck her in the head when she resisted. Eventually, she ran away to safety.

The victim said she heard a female voice from an attacker, but only saw a figure with their face entirely covered except the eyes.

The number of attackers in the incident is also unknown.
