A composite drawing of a man believed to be responsible for both an assault and significant vehicle damage in the Bragg Creek area has been released by the Cochrane RCMP.
The incident occurred in April 2025, when a man was hiking and was verbally confronted by an unknown suspect over his clothing. The confrontation escalated when the suspect attempted to punch the hiker, narrowly missing his face. The victim immediately left the area, but upon returning to the parking lot, he discovered his vehicle had sustained significant damage to its panels.
RCMP believe the same man is responsible for both the assault and the mischief.
The suspect is described as a light-skinned male, approximately 35 to 40 years old, around 6’1” tall, with a medium to muscular build, and weighing between 200 and 220 pounds. He is noted to have a gap between his teeth and was last seen wearing dark sunglasses, a blue shirt, and grey shorts with stripes.
