Toronto police have released photos of a man they are working to identify after a “random” assault at Kipling Station on Thursday.

Police said officers responded to an assault at the station, which is located in the Dundas Street and Kipling Avenue area, around 11:15 a.m.

A man assaulted an 85-year-old woman and the victim was taken to hospital to be treated for her injuries, police said.

Police previously indicated the woman was in her 60s.

On Thursday, both police and the TTC said the incident was “random.”

A police spokesperson said the woman was punched in the face.

In an update Friday, police said the man was six feet tall, wearing dark clothing and a hat.

In that incident, the woman later died of her injuries.
