Suspect approached woman three times and on the third time, tried to kiss her hand.
Toronto Police and York Security are looking for a suspect after a sexual assault was reported at Scott Library on Wednesday, May 22. They have released an image of the suspect as well.
A 19-year-old woman was approached by a man on the third floor of the library between 7:30 p.m. and 8 p.m, police say.
The man started a conversation with the woman, asked for a cigarette, touched her leg, and walked away, according to a York security bulletin sent out to students around 2 p.m. Thursday afternoon. He returned and tried to hug the woman, who pushed him off. He then left, but came back for a third time, this time asking the woman for her phone number and attempting to kiss her hand, the bulletin says. She shook her hand free and left the library.
The suspect is described as brown, 20 to 30 years old, 5’8” with dark frizzy hair. He was last seen in a dark blue vest over a black or dark blue T-shirt and blue jeans, carrying a black string-style bag with yellow stripes and a black laptop bag. A security camera image of the suspect has been released.
Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact Toronto Police Service directly at 416-808-2222.
