Police are searching for a man officers believe could be behind not one, but two assaults on women that reportedly took place along Spadina Avenue.
The incidents were reported between 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturday. Police said they responded to two calls on Spadina Avenue, at its intersection with Cecil Street and then Dundas Street.
In one incident, police received reports that a suspect had come up behind a 75-year-old woman and stabbed her on the left side of the neck with something sharp. The suspect then fled the scene.
The woman was treated in hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, according to police.
In a separate report, police were told a woman was walking north on Spadina Avenue when a suspect approached her and reportedly reached over and stabbed her in the right arm.
Police said they are searching for a suspect who wore a blue hoodie, light-coloured pants and green New Balance shoes with a green letter N on the sides. They released an image in the hopes of receiving tips from the public.
