Toronto police are searching for a man that sexually assaulted a woman in his vehicle after he offered to give her a ride east of the city.
Authorities say on Feb. 25 at approximately 3 a.m., the suspect stopped his vehicle in the Danforth Avenue and Greenwood Avenue area and asked to give the woman a ride. She accepted and entered his car.
Police say the suspect drove to a dead-end street in the Felstead Avenue and Lamb Avenue area and sexually assaulted the female victim.
It’s alleged the sexual assault was interrupted when the driver of a black sedan approached the dead-end street, and the man was startled. That’s when the woman was able to exit the vehicle, and the man sped away.
Investigators are looking to speak to the driver of the black sedan and any other possible witnesses or victims.
The male suspect is described as South Asian and in his 20s with a thin build. He was wearing dark clothing at the time of the incident.
The suspect was also driving a light-coloured four-door sedan. It is believed the car is a silver Hyundai Elantra.
