Toronto, Sep 22 (IBNS): A sexual predator has been assaulting teen girls in midtown Toronto and using busy pedestrian-filled streets to evade police and to conceal his crimes, according to recent media reports.

Between Sep 2 and 12, investigators have received several reports of sexual assaults in Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue area at various times of day, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
 
CTV Toronto quoting Constable Caroline de Kloet reported  that the suspect assaults girls between the ages of thirteen and sixteen at a time when the pedestrian traffic is busy.
 
On September 16, as a woman at the Yonge-Bloor subway station was making her way from one subway platform to another, she was sexually assaulted. When confronted by a witness, the suspect quickly disappeared into the crowd of commuters leaving a subway car, reports said
 
When security camera images of the suspect were released by the investigators, police inferred that it was the same man, who had previously been conducting sexual assaults at Yonge and Eglinton.
 
“These two cases, with the two different pictures, we do believe is the same individual,” de Kloet said.
 
The suspect is of medium build with brown hair with a height between five feet, nine inches and six feet, and is believed to be between twenty-four and thirty-five years of age. 
 
When he was last seen, he was wearing a red golf shirt, navy blue shorts and brown thong sandals.
 
Police alerted the public of more such cases and have asked anyone with information to contact police at 416-808-1400 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS.
