Police have made an arrest in the gunpoint robbery and sexual assault of an 18-year-old woman, two months after surveillance footage of a suspect in the case was released.

The alleged attack took place in the Gerrard Street West and Yonge Street area at around 4:20 a.m. on Nov. 5.

Police allege that the man, who was armed with a firearm, robbed the woman before physically and sexually assaulting her.

The man then fled the area on Gerrard Street West.

A suspect identified as Hakim El Mozazi, 18, of Toronto, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with 8 offences, including sexual assault causing bodily harm and robbery with a firearm.

Mozazi’s arrest comes nearly two months after police released surveillance footage of a suspect seen loitering in a residential building lobby.

In a press release issued Thursday, police thanked the public for their assistance with the investigation.

Mozazi is due in court at Old City Hall on Monday.
