A suspect was arrested exactly one week after two alleged early morning sexual assaults.
Police say a woman was attacked around 2:20am New Year’s day as she was leaving the St. Clair West subway station at the Heath Street exit. As she walked toward Spadina Road a man approached from behind, sexually assaulted her and then pushed her to the ground, authorities said.
Another alleged similar attack that same morning was reported. Police say a man approached a woman from behind near Summerhill subway station around 3am, sexually assaulted her and pushed her to the ground.
On Saturday Jan. 8 police arrested 28-year-old Joel Yarascavitch and charged him with two counts of sexual assault. He appeared in court Sunday.
