Police are looking for a suspect after a woman was beaten and sexually assaulted at a park near downtown Regina.
The incident happened in Central Park at around 8 p.m. Friday night. A 27-year-old woman told police she was walking in the area when a man grabbed her and pulled her into a bunch of trees in the park.
The woman said the man physically and sexually assaulted her and, at one point, she lost consciousness.
