Toronto police have arrested a man who allegedly sexually assaulted a 16-year-old girl twice in one week, near Ryerson campus.

Andrew Martin Morris, 26, was arrested by police on Sunday. His charges include two counts of sexual assault.

In a press release, police said that the 16-year-old was in McGill Parkette—near Yonge and Gerrard streets—on Wednesday, when she was approached by a man and sexually assaulted.

Police said that Morris fled the area.

The following day, police said the 16-year-old was in the parkette at 5:30 a.m. when the “same man returned.” Morris allegedly sexually assaulted the girl again and fled.

Morris is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 25.

Toronto police said a man allegedly produced a knife and sexually assaulted a woman in McGill Parkette on July 30

Almost one month earlier, another female was sexually assaulted in McGill Parkette.

In a press release on Aug. 1, police said a woman was in the parkette around 2:30 a.m. on July 30 when a man approached her and allegedly struck her on the head with a piece of concrete.

Police say the man allegedly “produced a knife” and sexually assaulted the woman.

The man fled the scene after a passerby in the area confronted him. The woman, who sustained injuries, was transported to a hospital.

At the beginning of the month, police released security camera footage and images of the suspect wanted in connection with the July 30 sexual assault.
