New photo released of suspect in alleged sexual assault of 12-year-old on TTC bus

Toronto police have released a new photo of a man wanted in an alleged sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl on a TTC bus.

The picture of the man was taken by a passenger on an eastbound Bloor-Danforth subway train on Sept. 26, after the suspect was seen deliberately moving to sit beside a teenage girl, police said.

On Oct. 3 around 9 a.m., a 12-year-old girl got on a 168 Symington bus leaving Dundas West subway station, where a man followed the girl onto the back of the bus. The suspect sat beside the girl and police said she was sexually assaulted.

Police believe the photo taken last month is of the same person who committed the alleged assault.

He was last seen wearing a black sling on his right arm. He also had a black baseball hat with a red-coloured ‘15’ emblem on the front with white border trim.

Anyone with information is being asked to contact 11 Division at 416-808-1100 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477.
