A 74-year-old woman was taken to hospital on Monday after an alleged assault in Pine Grove, N.S. RCMP officers responded to a report of an injured woman lying in a driveway on Woodside Drive around 3:30 p.m. “Officer learned that the woman had been attacked by a man before he fled toward a wooded area near the property,” reads an RCMP news release on Friday. The woman was taken to hospital by EHS with serious, non-life-threatening injuries. Investigators do not believe the attack was random. Police dog services and a drone system operator attended the scene but were unable to locate the man. Lunenburg District RCMP is requesting information and video footage from the public. Officers are seeking dashcam, doorbell, CCTV, and other recordings that might show suspicious people or vehicles travelling on Pinegrove Road between Naugler Road and Highway 10 or in the area at the time of the assault. Police urge anyone with information to contact the Lunenburg District RCMP at 902-275-3583. For more Nova Scotia news, visit our dedicated provincial page
