London police say they have arrested an individual wanted in connection with a reported robbery and sexual assault in London last week.
Police say last Thursday, a woman was walking southbound on the west side of Adelaide Street North near the intersection of Huron Street when a man crossed the street and began following her at around 4:20 a.m.
The man assaulted and sexually assaulted the woman before stealing her purse and fleeing the scene, according to police. They add the victim sustained minor injuries from the incident.
Police had put out numerous appeals for the 28-year-old suspect, including the fact he frequented London and the Scarborough area, before he was arrested this week.
The suspect was being held in police custody as of Tuesday afternoon.
