An elderly North Battleford woman working in her garden, on Tuesday, found herself under attack from a man.

As the woman worked in the garden, a man approached her. Feeling concerned, the woman went indoors.

The man followed her in, pushed her down, struck her several times and demanded money. The woman said she didn’t have any money so he took some liquor and left. The woman received minor injuries.

RCMP are continuing to look for the suspect. He is described to be aboriginal, 5’5” tall and 120lbs with short black hair. He was wearing a black jacket with yellow writing on the sleeves and back.
