Toronto police have arrested one man in connection with the sexual assault of a 19-year-old woman at a King and Bathurst Streets condo building and are looking for another.
Investigators say a 19-year-old woman was entering an elevator early Thursday morning when two men entered behind her.
One of the suspects allegedly attempted to rob her of her cell phone and a struggle ensued.
Police allege he then pulled out a handgun and took the phone.
She was then allegedly “violently dragged” out of the elevator and sexually assaulted in a nearby stairwell by both men.
Shane Acton Codrington, 24, of Toronto is facing 11 charges including aggravated sexual assault, two counts of sexual assault with a weapon and forcible confinement.
Jevor Oshane Brown, 24, also of Toronto has been identified as the second suspect and is wanted by police. He is considered violent, armed and dangerous.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
