Spokesperson Anne Drennan says the woman left the station and got on a bus with her daughter 20 minutes later only for Silvester to follow her and sit beside her.

When she tried to leave the bus, police say he grabbed the daughter’s leg, but other passengers helped her off the bus.

“This man has an extensive criminal record. He’s very, very well known to police in multiple jurisdictions.”

Silvester was found by police this week causing a scene at the Waterfront SeaBus terminal and remains in custody until a court appearance on Thursday.
