There’s another random attack to report from the streets of Timmins.
This one happened at about 6:30 Friday night, outside a grocery store. City police communications coordinator Marc Depatie says that’s where a woman was approached from behind.
“The female victim was going towards the entrance, at which time an unknown suspect came up behind her, pulled her backpack, causing her to spin around. The suspect then punched the victim in the face, causing her to have a cut to her bottom lip and a nosebleed as well.”
Depatie adds that the victim she doesn’t know her attacker.
