York Regional Police investigators say they’re asking for the public’s help to identify a suspect wanted in connection with an investigation into a reported sexual assault at a Vaughan office building on Tuesday.

Police said at around 3:25 p.m., officers were called to a building in the area of Dufferin Street and Langstaff Road.

Officers alleged a man entered an office with a lone female victim inside, closed the door and subsequently attacked her.

Investigators said the victim — who did not know the suspect — defended herself and yelled for help; other employees then assisted and called police.

Police said the suspect took off before officers arrived.
