York Regional Police have released a composite sketch of a suspect wanted in connection with a sexual assault in Newmarket.
According to police, on Jan. 1 just before 3 a.m., an 18-year-old woman was walking from the GO bus terminal on a pathway near Davis Drive towards Crossland Gate when she was attacked by a man who grabbed her, forced her to the ground and sexually assaulted her.
The man is described as approximately 5-foot-9 with a lean build. He is between 30 and 50 years old. At the time he was wearing a light-grey jacket, a black hoodie, a black neck warmer and black boots.
A witness in the area at the time came forward and spoke to police, but police believe there may have been other witnesses in the area around the GO bus lot at Davis Drive and Eagle Street. They are encouraging anyone with information to contact police at 1-800-668-3641 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
Police say they do not believe this incident is linked to any other ongoing sexual assault investigations in the Newmarket area.
