The alleged assault happened on Nov. 4 at around 4:30 p.m. at the Superstore located at 3000 Lougheed Hwy.

The man is described as Asian, between 25 and 30 years old, with a medium build and standing 6 feet tall.
The Coquitlam RCMP did not provide any more details about the incident or why they have decided to make a public appeal a month after it occurred.
