Toronto police are looking for a suspect who allegedly repeatedly harassed a girl in downtown Toronto.

In a release, police say a teenage girl was talking home from school near Dundas Street West and Beverly Street when she was approached by a stranger who asked her to follow him behind a building.

Police say the girl declined and continued walking home but has since seen the same man on the TTC several times.

On Monday, police allege the same man followed the girl home from school.

Toronto police are looking for a suspect described as a 20 to 25-year-old man, five foot seven to five foot nine inches tall with a slim build. He was last seen wearing a white/grey/black camouflage jacket with a hood, black pants, and black running shoes with white soles.

Anyone with information is being asked to contact police.
