The 19-year-old man arrested Friday after an alleged sexual assault of a young woman in a wooded area of Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax, has been released without charges.
Investigators say the incident occurred at 12:30 a.m. when a man approached a woman in her twenties outside Vinnie's Pub on the campus.
Officers say the suspect pulled the woman into a wooded area and sexually assaulted her.
The man was identified and taken into custody on Friday morning without incident in the Westwood Residence at Mount Saint Vincent University.
He didn't know the woman according to police, and while he is believed to have been staying in one of the university residences, he is not a student at Mount Saint Vincent University.
Police say the investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to come forward.
