CBC
Toronto police are asking the public for help identifying a man wanted in relation to an assault at Kipling Station.
On Friday morning, police say they responded to a call around 9:50 that there had been an assault in the Kipling Avenue and Dundas Street West area.
Police heard reports a man had approached another man from behind, and punched the victim in the face while he tried to board a TTC bus. The victim was knocked to the floor of the bus, then kicked several times, before the suspect fled the scene, TPS said in a release Sunday.
The suspect is described as being in his late-30s to mid-40s, with a black beard. He was last seen wearing a black toque with stripes, a grey jacket, black pants, light-coloured shoes and a black backpack.
The man was last seen running on Aukland Road toward Dundas Street West.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the police or provide an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers.
