The Surrey Police Service (SPS) says it is asking the public for help identifying two suspects in a bear-spray assault in South Surrey on May 31.<\/p>\n

The SPS says a teen boy was sitting on a bench outside of a business, located on Croydon Drive near 157 Street, around 4 p.m., when he was approached by an unknown youth.<\/p>\n

The suspect allegedly sprayed him with bear spray while another youth recorded the incident on his cell phone.<\/p>\n

The teen who sprayed the bear spray is described as being around 5\u20194\u2033 tall with shaggy brown hair, wearing a light hoodie, a red shirt, black shorts, black shoes, and a cross-body bag.<\/p>\n

Police say he may have been pushed around in a blue shopping cart.<\/p>\n

The youth who recorded the incident is described as being 5\u20196\u2033 tall with short black curly hair, wearing a black t-shirt with white designs, black pants with large white designs, white shoes, and a cross-body bag. His right hand appeared to have been wrapped in medical tape.<\/p>\n

The victim is 5\u20196\u2033 tall with black curly hair, wearing a black hoodie, light blue jeans, and black clog-style shoes.<\/p>\n

\u201cSPS is providing the victim\u2019s description in the hopes that any witnesses may remember the incident,\u201d police said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone with information about the incident or the identity of the suspects is asked to contact the SPS non-emergency line at 604-599-0502 and quote file number 2026-54451 (SP) or make an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).\u201d<\/p>\n
