Toronto police are searching for a suspect accused of sexually assaulting a woman aboard a TTC subway train in mid-July.
The incident reportedly happened around 9:50 a.m. on July 19, when a 64-year-old woman was travelling on a southbound subway train between North York City Centre and York Mills stations.
Police said a man sat down beside the woman and used a bag to conceal his arm as he allegedly sexually assaulted her.
The victim had moved seats and advised other passengers of the incident after it had happened.
Police said the man fled the train at York Mills station and continued onto the next northbound subway train.
The suspect is described as male, about 30 to 35-years-old, standing 5’7″ tall, with a thin build and a black goatee/moustache.
At the time, he was wearing a black or dark grey hat with large writing on it, dark sunglasses, a white T-shirt, light blue jeans with paint on them, yellow or mustard coloured shoes and was carrying a large black-and-white reusable bag.
A photo of the suspect was released by police on Tuesday.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-3200 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
