A GO train passenger was hit in the face with a heavy object in an unprovoked attack last weekend, police say, and investigators are now trying to identify a suspect.
Toronto police said officers responded at 1:50 p.m. on Sunday for a call about an assault that happened on a GO train between Milliken Station and Agincourt Station, which is in the city’s east end.
Police said a man struck a passenger in the face with a heavy object, unprovoked.
The man then left the train at Agincourt and headed south toward Sheppard Avenue, police said.
The victim was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said the suspect is six feet tall and 200 pounds with short black hair and a beard.
He was reportedly wearing a black leather jacket with grey stains, a black hooded sweater, black jeans with grey stains, black shoes with white soles and sunglasses.
Police said he was walking with a brown wooden cane.
Anyone with information can contact police or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
