Police are searching for a suspect wanted in an assault on a 22-year-old woman at a Richmond Hill bar earlier this year.
York Regional Police responded to a disturbance at the bar, located in the Highway 7 and East Beaver Creek Road area, just before 3 a.m. on April 15.
Several people were found with injuries after police said a fight broke out inside the bar and spilled out onto the parking lot. One of the victims, a 22-year-old woman, suffered serious injuries in the fight and was taken to hospital.

Investigators determined the fight broke out between two groups of people inside the bar and a male suspect struck the woman in the face outside, where she fell face-first onto the ground. Police said the suspect then hit the woman again when she was on the ground.
The unidentified suspect then fled the area before police arrived.
Police said they have been “working diligently” to locate the suspect but have “exhausted all leads” and have been unable to identify him.
