Toronto police are searching for a man after an assault in Toronto on Friday afternoon.

In a press release, Toronto police said they responded to an assault call in the area of King Street West and Blue Jays Way around 2:37 p.m. on Friday.

Police said the suspect and another man were involved in a “verbal altercation,” before the suspect walked up to the victim in his car and hit him “repeatedly” in the face. He allegedly then kicked the car and caused damage.

A passerby tried to intervene “on numerous occasions” to stop the assault from continuing, police said.
