Police said that around 9:40 p.m. March 23, two suspects approached the victim in the area of Yonge Street and Dundas Square.

One suspect attempted to rip a gold chain off the victim’s neck and when they fought back, the second suspect sprayed pepper spray from a large canister, according to police.

The suspects then fled northbound on Yonge Street.

Several people in the area reported suffering effects from the spray.

One suspect is described as having a slim build and was wearing a grey ball cap, dark windbreaker-style jacket with a Maple Leaf logo, grey track pants, and a black backpack.
