Calgary police say an assault victim who sought help near the Telus Spark science centre on Monday has been located and is safe, and a suspect is in custody.
The disturbing incident happened in a wooded area between the Calgary Zoo and Telus Spark.
The woman, dressed in an oversized sweater and no pants, asked a passerby for help around 5 p.m., saying her boyfriend was trying to kill her, then left the area.
The incident sparked an extensive search, but police were unable to find her.
The following day, police issued a public plea for help, saying they believed the woman had suffered serious injuries.
In a Thursday afternoon update, police said the victim had since been located and taken to hospital in life-threatening condition.
Police also revealed a suspect was taken into custody thanks to a tip from the security team with the Calgary Zoo.
