The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) is investigating an allegation of sexual interference involving a child that occurred Monday (Sept. 6) inside a public washroom at Grant Park.
The incident took place at around 4 p.m. at the park located at 31850 Madiera Place in west Abbotsford.
Sgt. Judy Bird said because the victim is a child, the specifics of the incident are not being released.
She said the suspect left the area on his bicycle, but was later located and arrested for sexual interference.
