A woman in her 20s requested a ride through a rideshare app and was picked up by the suspect, police said.

The suspect then allegedly exposed himself to the woman and “continued to sexually assault the victim.”

She then got out of the vehicle and contacted police, officers said.

Brampton resident Rajwinder Bhangu, 27, turned himself in on Wednesday and was charged with committing an indecent act and sexual assault, police said.

He was scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.
