Authorities are investigating a reported sexual assault involving an eight-year-old girl.

The boy approached a group of parents and children at a playground near 109 Street and 162 Avenue, on July 7 at around 5:30 p.m., and asked if he could play with the kids, police reported.

“During this time, it is believed the male took an 8-year-old girl into a wooded area beside the park and assaulted her,” the Edmonton Police Service said in a release on Friday.
