On Saturday at about 2:46 a.m., police responded to a call in the Steeles Ave. E. and Warden Ave. area of the city.

It is alleged that the victim was walking in an alleyway when the suspect approached from behind and pushed the victim to the ground. The suspect then allegedly assaulted the victim before fleeing the area, running towards Warden.

The suspect is described as a 5-foot-8 brown male with short black hair, about 30 to 40 years old. He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, red-striped shorts, running shoes and wearing a blue medical mask.
