Toronto police have named a man wanted following an alleged “random” attack at Kipling Subway Station in Etobicoke.

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. on July 7.

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

Kipling Station is the same location where a woman was lit on fire aboard a TTC bus last month. In that incident, the woman later died of her injuries.
