A suspect is being sought after a woman who hopped into the wrong vehicle, thinking it was her ride share, was sexually assaulted by the driver, Toronto police said in a release Friday.
Officers were called to the Portland Street and Adelaide Street West area on Sunday, December 17.
Police said the victim entered a vehicle which she mistook for her ride share.
The driver then took her to an unknown location and sexually assaulted her, police said.
He’s described as a white male, 35 to 40 years old with an Eastern European accent. He had a brown, well-groomed beard and was wearing a white long-sleeve button-up shirt and blue jeans.
The vehicle he was driving was a dark red or rust coloured SUV, possibly a Hyundai Santa Fe.
