Police are investigating an assault against a nine-year old boy in Aspen Ridge on Saturday evening.

Around 7:15, three children were playing soccer in a park on the 100 block of Haverstock Crescent. Police were told a man joined the kids and approached one of them. The boy got on his bike to ride away, but the man chased the child and hit him before fleeing the scene.

The suspect is described as a man with a shaved head, about six feet tall with a larger build. He was wearing a green shirt and dark pants. Anyone with information to assist the investigation is asked to contact Saskatoon Police or Crimestoppers.
