An arrest has been made in connection with an ongoing investigation of an incident in which a woman, police say, was sexually assaulted outside a Toronto subway station.
Officers said they have arrested 69-year-old Michael Hawkins from Toronto for sexual assault, as well as an indecent act.
The incident occurred on Sept. 1 around 5:30 p.m. outside of Kennedy subway station, police said. A woman, 40, was lying on the ground unconscious when police said Hawkins approached her and sexually assaulted her. He then “casually walked away.”
