On Wednesday August 13, 2014, just before 8:00 p.m., a woman was sexually assaulted in her vehicle in a plaza in the area of Chinguacousy Road and Queen Street West in the City of Brampton.  During this incident, the victim was in the presence of her two young children who were seated in the car during the attack.  The victim did not sustain any physical injuries. Following the incident, the unknown suspect fled the area and an investigation commenced.
