A scary incident for a teen in Okotoks last Monday night.

RCMP received a complaint where a suspicious man accosted a 15-year-old male who was walking in front of the Foothills Composite High School about 9:15 p.m. on Mon. Apr. 21.

The man grabbed the youth with both hands and ordered the teen to empty his pockets.  

When the youth said no, the male punched him on the cheek.

The youth swung back and punched the man in the face.

The man fell to the ground and the youth ran home.

The man is described as Caucasian, wearing a black hoody, about 5'10" tall and 180 lbs with brown hair and a goatee.
