Police have released an image of a suspect in an unprovoked assault of a pedestrian in downtown Toronto last week as they appeal to any other individuals who may have been victimized to come forward.
It happened near Yonge and Dundas streets at around 8 p.m. on July 4.
Police say the victim was walking northbound on the east side of Yonge when a suspect approached her from behind and placed her in a chokehold before pulling her to the ground.
It is alleged that the suspect then continued the attack on the ground before a group of bystanders intervened.
The suspect then fled the scene but was arrested a short time later, police say.
A suspect, identified as 40-year-old Robert Cater, has been charged with assault and assault and/or choking in connection with the incident.
“Investigators believe there may be more victims,” police said in a news release issued on Monday. “Anyone wishing to report a similar interaction with the suspect is encouraged to contact 52 Division investigators.”
