Saskatchewan RCMP say they are investigating a second sexual assault report at the Country Thunder music festival in Craven.
A woman was approached by an unknown male as she was leaving a portable bathroom at around 10 p.m. on Friday, RCMP said in a news release.
The man tried to force the woman into a portable bathroom after making verbal and physical advances, but she was able to push him away and escape unharmed, police said.
RCMP describe the man as six feet tall wearing a red plaid shirt, jean shorts, a tan cowboy hat and two diamond earrings.
This was the second sexual assault reported to RCMP at Country Thunder on Friday.
Police previously said another woman told police she was approached and attacked by a man around 3 a.m. while she was walking between campsites at the festival.
RCMP said they do not believe the two sexual assaults are connected.
Anyone who saw or has information on either sexual assault is asked to contact RCMP by calling 310-RCMP (7267), or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online.
