TORONTO, CANADA – Authorities are currently searching for a suspect in connection with a violent assault that took place in the city’s west end. The incident, which occurred on Monday, has prompted a thorough investigation by law enforcement officials.
According to Toronto Police, the assault took place in the vicinity of Bloor St. W. and Margueretta St., just east of Lansdowne Ave., around 12:15 a.m. Allegedly, there was a physical altercation between two men, resulting in one of them being rendered unconscious. Shockingly, the assailant proceeded to continue the assault despite the efforts of a bystander to intervene and the subsequent call to the police.
The assailant subsequently fled the scene, leaving the victim with life-threatening injuries. Investigators have since identified a suspect and have released images in the hopes that members of the public will recognize the individual and come forward with any relevant information.
Described as a man between 26 to 32 years old, approximately 5-foot-10, with a medium build, slicked back black hair with the sides shaved short, and a thin black goatee, the suspect was last seen wearing black rimmed glasses, a black puffy jacket with a hood, black pants, and black and white shoes. Additionally, the police are also seeking information regarding the vehicle believed to be associated with the suspect prior to the assault – a 2008-2012 dark blue or black Ford Escape with a black roof rack and aluminum rims.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about the suspect’s identity or whereabouts to contact the Toronto Police department at 416-808-1100 or to provide information anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
