Calgary Police are investigating an incident where a woman was allegedly attacked by an unknown suspect near Calgary's Prince's Island Park on Sunday, March 27.

According to a statement, the woman was walking from Prince's Island Park along the Bow River pathway at 3:30 a.m. on Sunday when she was "grabbed from behind" by an unidentified person.

"The suspect allegedly held a knife and attempted to drag the woman towards the river," police said.

The victim was able to fight off the attacker and escape. She alerted a security guard to the incident who called the police.

Calgary Police is currently looking at CCTV for a photo and description of the suspect, whose gender has yet to be confirmed. It will release a description as soon as it's available.
