A 45-year-old woman suffered minor injuries after stopping to help a man who had collapsed and was believed to be overdosing in Winnipeg, say police.<\/p>\n

She was standing outside on Main Street, near Logan Avenue, around 5 p.m. on March 19 when she saw the man fall down.<\/p>\n

She went to provide aid and call 911 when another man assaulted her and stole her cellphone and smart watch, police said in a news release on Monday.<\/p>\n

The woman was treated by the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service and didn’t need to be hospitalized.<\/p>\n

Police say the overdose was legitimate and not a setup for the robbery. <\/p>\n

They put out the news release on Monday after getting an image of the man believed to have attacked the woman.<\/p>\n

He is described as about five feet and 10 inches tall with short hair and clean shaven. He has neck and hand tattoos and was wearing a black jacket and black jeans.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information that could help in identifying the suspect is asked to contact investigators at 204-986-6219.<\/p>\n

Anonymous tips can also be called in to Crime Stoppers 204-786-8477, or submitted online<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 2 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":586633,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194296],"tags":[49,48,22073],"class_list":["post-586632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-winnipeg","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-winnipeg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/586632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=586632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/586632\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/586633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=586632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=586632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=586632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
