Toronto police say they are searching for a man who reportedly uttered a racist slur against a woman and also spat on her.
Police said it was on Jan. 23 at around 5 p.m. when a 39-year-old woman was waiting for the bus.
A man approached her and she was assaulted, police said.

The suspect has been described as being six feet tall with a thin build. He was wearing a blue denim jacket, a black hoodie, beige pants, brown boots and sunglasses at the time of the incident.
Investigators have released surveillance photos of the suspect.
