Toronto police are trying to identify a cab driver after an alleged sexual assault at a hotel in Rexdale.

The incident happened Feb. 13 as the city hosted the NBA All-Star weekend, police said in a news release.

According to investigators, a taxi driver picked up a 26-year-old woman who needed a ride. He then drove her around downtown as he picked up other riders.

The woman told police that she and the man socialized and drank alcohol throughout the evening before attending a Holiday Inn at Dixon and Martin Grove roads at around 1 a.m.

The man then sexually assaulted the woman while the two were at the hotel, she told police.

The suspect is described as 28 years old, standing around five-foot-10. He was wearing light-blue jeans, a Pittsburgh baseball hat and a black zip-up jacket with a maroon hoodie underneath. He identified himself as Ali.
