The Toronto Police Service is seeking assistance from the public in identifying a suspect involved in two sexual assaults that occurred on Monday afternoon.

The first incident took place at approximately 12:45 p.m. in Yorkville near the corner of Yorkville Avenue and Yonge Street. According to a police report, the victim was walking with a companion when she noticed the suspect harassing another woman. The victim intervened, telling the suspect to stop. In response, the suspect engaged her in conversation before sexually assaulting her. The victim fought back, striking the suspect, who then fled the scene.

Less than an hour later, another call was made to the police regarding a sexual assault at Union Station. The second victim was walking between the subway and the train station when the suspect approached and sexually assaulted her before quickly leaving the area.

Investigators have determined that the same individual is responsible for both attacks. The suspect is described as a man approximately 40 years old, with facial hair. At the time of the assaults, he was wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt and black pants. An image of the suspect has been released to the public in hopes of identifying him swiftly.

The Toronto Police Service is urging anyone with information to come forward. Individuals can contact the police directly at 416-808-7474 or reach out anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.222tips.com.
