Police are seeking tips on the identity of a suspect accused of assaulting another protester this weekend during a downtown rally.

Toronto Police said the attack happened at about 5 p.m. on Saturday in the Yonge-Grosvenor Sts. area, where the victim was walking northbound on Yonge and was engaged in a conversation with another protester.

Police said the suspect then approached the victim from behind and punched them in the head “several times” without provocation. The victim fell to the ground and suffered injuries to their face and one of their legs.

Cops said the suspect is about 5-foot-5 with a thin build and black hair. He was wearing prescription glasses, a grey jacket, dark grey sweatpants and was carrying a black Under Armour backpack.

Toronto man accused of indecent exposure

A 28-year-old Toronto man is facing sexual assault-related charges after a pair of indecent exposure incidents on TTC property.

Toronto Police said the first incident happened on Sept. 1 at about 3 p.m., when a man allegedly exposed himself to two victims while they were travelling aboard a TTC subway car going southbound at King Station.

The victims activated the security alarm before the accused exited the train.

Then on Oct. 3 at about 12:10 a.m., a man allegedly followed a victim getting off a TTC subway car at College Station and followed them onto the escalator. At some point after that, the suspect allegedly exposed himself to the victim and fled after he was verbally confronted.

Adebayo Maoli has since been charged with sexual assault and two counts of committing an indecent act.

Police said investigators believe there may be additional victims.
