Edmonton police are warning the public of a 33-year-old man they say was involved in two instances of “concerning behaviour” on the University of Alberta campus.

Muhammad Ahmed, 33, is said to have had unwanted interactions with women that escalated to harassment and, at times, threats or aggression twice in March.

He was arrested and charged with unlawful interference with enjoyment of property and two counts of failing to comply with conditions.

He now faces court-ordered conditions including that he must stay away from the U of A campus. Anyone who notices him on campus or has a hostile interaction with him elsewhere is asked to call Edmonton police at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a cellphone.

Police say Ahmed is known to them and has a history of behaving similarly in other public spaces in Edmonton and other Canadian cities.
