Multiple suspects at large after alleged assaults at York U

TORONTO, Ont. – Police are looking for a man they say sexually assaulted a York University student on-campus.

In another incident on the same day, police are also on the search for two men who struck a York student on the head with a metal pipe, also on campus.

Both incidents happened on Friday, with the sexual assault happening just before 5 p.m. and the assault with a weapon happening at approximately 7 p.m.

In the first incident, the victim, a 20-year-old woman, told police the man sexually assaulted her not long after she got off a TTC bus at 4:45 p.m.

He fled and was last seen near the GO bus stop at York Lanes.

He is described as having a dark black complexion, standing five-foot-10 to six feet tall with short black hair. He was wearing a black bomber-jacket with a red hoodie, black jeans and black Nike sneakers with a white-swoosh logo.

In the second incident, at around 7 p.m., a York student and a friend were approached by two male suspects and asked if they had drugs for sale. After telling the suspects they didn’t, the York student was struck on the head with a metal pipe and was transported by EMS to hospital.

The suspects are described as two black males, one taller than the other. Both were wearing black coats and blue jeans. One suspect was wearing a black hat with the letter A on it.

In an email from York University, officials assured the public that York Security Services and the Toronto Police Service had increased their patrols on campus.
