Windsor Police are turning to the public for help in identifying a suspect following the sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl.
On Monday, Sept. 14, officers responded to a report of an assault in the 1100 block of Parent Avenue.
The investigation determined that the previous day, the teen was sitting on a public bench near Riverside Drive East and Parent Avenue when she was approached by an unknown man.
The man allegedly spat toward the girl and then threw a lit cigarette, which hit her ankle. Police say he then touched the girl in a sexual manner as she repeatedly pushed his hands away.
The victim took a photo of the suspect before leaving the area in a vehicle driven by a relative. The suspect followed them in an older-model blue minivan until the relative was able to lose sight of the vehicle.
The suspect is described as a white man, approximately 30 to 40 years old, with a tall build.
The suspect is wanted for assault with a weapon, sexual assault, and sexual interference.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Windsor Police or Crime Stoppers.
