"Residents are rattled after a 19-year-old woman was sexually assaulted near a popular walking path in Barrhaven on Tuesday night.

Ottawa police are hunting for two men after the teen was attacked while walking through the greenspace between Claridge Dr. and Longfields Dr. around 2 a.m.

The woman was able to run away from her attackers.

The area is a popular walking trail, say area residents, and commonly used to cut through to the Longfields transit station. It also borders several schools, including Mother Teresa High School, where officers were scouring its playing fields on Wednesday, according to students."
 
"That's pretty terrifying. That's like my daily route. That's really scary actually," says Weatherhead.

Nearby residents say trees along the path have been cut back. While the path is well lit, they say some areas are still crowded by trees obstructing the view from residents.

"It was a matter of time. I can't tell you the number of times I've walked through there at 5:30 in the morning trying to get to work and my head is on a swivel," says Meredith Hall.

She says people can easily hide among the trees, catching someone off guard if they're not on full alert.

Ottawa police describe the two men as white, in their mid-20s, wearing baggy pants and possibly driving a small vehicle."
