Another violent suspect is being sought by Toronto Police for two assaults against innocent riders using the TTC subway system.

Police are seeking the public’s help to nab a suspect sought for the June 17 assault of a man that occurred around 7 p.m. at the Victoria Park Subway station.

“The victim, while waiting for the train to arrive, was approached by the suspect who assaulted him, knocking him to the ground,” police said in a press release.

Detectives said later that day the suspect allegedly assaulted a woman.

“It is alleged that he approached and sexually assaulted a woman while she was waiting for a train,” according to police.

The suspect is described as male with a thin build, 5’7″ – 5’9,” moustache and a chin beard wearing an oversized blue jacket with a red baseball cap. The man was in the possession of a black mountain bike and carrying a brown duffel bag.

Police have released a photograph of a suspect and anyone with information is asked to call police at 416-808-4100.

It was only last month when police charged a man in connection with a stabbing that took place at the Royal York Subway station that left a man, in his 30s, with multiple stab wounds.

Police were called to the station just before 4 p.m.  Police say two men got on a train at Islington Subway station.

The men then got in a verbal altercation and one of the men stabbed the victim several times. The victim was hospitalized in critical condition.

The suspect got off the train at Royal York Subway station and fled the area.

The accused has been charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and assault with a weapon dangerous to public peace, according to a release issued Saturday.

He is before the courts.

Also sought is a suspect, who is wanted by police for a string of suspected hate crimes last April at various subway stations, including Lansdowne, Christie and Islington, in which Asian Canadians were spat on, or called racial names.

He is still at large.
