A man believed to be 18 years old is wanted by police after he followed two women home in the city’s east end and, in one case, sexually assaulted the victim.
Around 6 p.m. on Jan. 12, police were called to Victoria Park Avenue and Yardley Avenue east of Toronto.
It’s alleged a woman was walking home and noticed a man following her very closely, and when she crossed the street, the man continued to follow her.
When the woman arrived home, the man walked up to her front door and tried the door handle. Police said the suspect then fled eastbound toward Victoria Park Avenue.
A few days later, on Jan. 16 and around 6 p.m., police responded to a call in the Victoria Park Avenue and Sunrise Avenue area. A woman was walking home, and a man began to follow her closely until she reached her home. Police say he then sexually assaulted her.
The man is described as being approximately 18 years old with a darker skin tone wearing a face mask, glasses, and dark clothing. They believe the same man is connected to both incidents.
