Mounties are still searching for a man suspected of breaking into a home in northern Saskatchewan and assaulting a woman last weekend.
La Ronge RCMP received a call around 2:30 a.m. CST on Aug. 19, reporting an assault.
A man broke into a home on Vickers Crescent in Air Ronge, Sask., assaulted a woman, then fled, police say.
The woman was treated in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police say.
RCMP officers patrolled the area the day of the incident, but were unable to find the suspect.
On Friday, RCMP released a sketch of the suspect in a news release. The sketch, police say, is based on information gathered by officers.
Police describe the man as being in his mid-20s, with a medium build and dark hair. He stands around six-foot-two or six-foot-three.
He was wearing a black hoodie at the time of the incident, police say.
The sketch shows the man's left ear has a stud, and that he has a soul patch.
