Grand Bay-Westfield RCMP are seeking a person of interest after a woman was hit over the head with a crowbar.
Police and paramedics were called to a home on Birch Crescent in Nerepis around 2:45 p.m. Tuesday.
In a news release issued Thursday, Mounties said a woman reported being struck over the head with a crowbar in the front yard of the residence.
The 33-year-old victim was taken to the hospital with what are believed to be non-life threatening injuries and later released.
“As part of the investigation, police learned that a man fled the scene in a vehicle before police arrived. The man is considered a person of interest in the investigation,” said the RCMP release.
The man is described as being between 25 and 28 years old, about 5’8″ tall, with skinny build and short buzzed dirty blonde hair. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, jeans, and white sunglasses at the time.
Mounties said the vehicle of interest is described as a black four-door car with a tinged back windshield and back windows. Officers obtained surveillance video footage and believe the vehicle is a 2016-2020 model Honda Civic that appears to have a spoiler on the back.
“Police are looking to speak with anyone who was around Britain Road, Crandall Road or Birch Crescent in Nerepis between 2 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. on July 26,” said the release.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Grand Bay-Westfield RCMP at 506-757-1020 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
