Police are looking for a suspect after a woman was assaulted with a hammer in the downtown core Thursday evening.

Toronto police Const. David Hopkinson said police received a call for a stabbing at around 9:30 p.m., in the area of Victoria Street and Dundas Street East, near Yonge Street.

“Our officers were able to view some video in the area and they got a better view of what was happening. And they believe that although the man is armed with both a knife and a hammer that the hammer is what was used (in the assault),” Hopkinson said.

At this time police do not know if the victim and suspect knew each other or the extent of the victims injuries.

Police are looking for a male, six-foot tall with a brown complexion, in his late thirties, wearing a black hooded sweater with a silver Reebok logo on it and black pants.
