Two women were sexually assaulted in separate parks in Toronto on Sunday, one at gunpoint.

The first assault happened in broad daylight at a park near Finch Ave. E. and Don Mills Rd. A 20-year-old woman was walking her dog in the area around 9:30 a.m. when a man struck up conversation with her.

After a few minutes, the suspect leaned in, grabbed the woman and pointed a gun to her rib cage. He directed her to walk to a secluded area of the park.

Once there, the suspect pushed the woman to the ground and sexually assaulted her.

When the suspect demanded further sex from the woman, she said no. The suspect left the park on foot, heading west.

The victim then walked home, dialed 9-1-1 and was taken to hospital.

The suspect is described as black, in his 20s with braided hair and tattoos on both arms. He was armed with black handgun.

Later on Sunday, a female jogger was sexually assaulted during an evening run through High Park.

The assault happened inside the park around 8:30 p.m., police said.

“She was certainly attacked by the person, we just don’t know the severity,” Staff Sgt. Mark Tilley said. “Lots of police are responding to the incident.”

Police cruisers were stationed at many of the park’s entrances as officers questioned park-goers.

Police did not immediately arrest a suspect or release a description.

Anyone with information regarding either assault is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS.
