Police in Saskatoon say a 14-year-old girl was threatened with a weapon and sexually assaulted in a hospital bathroom.
According to police, officers were called to Hospital Drive early Wednesday afternoon for a report of a sexual assault that “had just occurred.”
Police said told 650 CKOM in an email the threat was made outside of the entrance to the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital, and the alleged assault occurred in a washroom within the building.
“The victim, a 14-year-old girl, reported to hospital security that an unknown man had threatened her with a weapon before taking her to a washroom where he unlawfully confined and sexually assaulted her,” police said in a statement.
University of Saskatchewan security had already found and detained a suspect before officers arrived, police said.
The suspect, a 43-year-old man from Black Lake who was not named by police, is now facing charges of sexual assault with a weapon, sexual interference and unlawful confinement.
Police noted that the man was not carrying a weapon at the time of his arrest.
