TORONTO, Canada (KGTV) -- Canadian law enforcement officials have released disturbing surveillance footage showing a masked suspect posing as a delivery man firing a crossbow into a woman.
The video, which was captured Nov. 7, 2018 but released this week, shows the suspect approaching the 44-year-old victim's porch holding a large cardboard box.
The suspect rings the doorbell, exchanges words with the victim, then fires an arrow into her chest, leaving her with life-threatening injuries. The suspect then fled the scene in a dark-colored vehicle parked nearby, police said.
"After a brief conversation, the suspect shot the victim with an arrow using a crossbow that was concealed inside of the box," Peel Regional Police said.
Investigators said the attack was premeditated, targeted, and isolated "based on the conversation that occurred between the victim and the suspect." No further details about the conversation were disclosed.
Police said the suspect used an arrow "designed to hunt large game such as moose and deer and inflict the maximum amount of damage possible."
Officers are seeking the public's help identifying the suspect in the attempted murder case.
Anyone with any information in relation to this incident is asked to contact the 22 Division Criminal Investigation Bureau at (905) 453-2121, ext. 2233.
