Toronto police are looking for a suspect who allegedly punched a woman in the face in the lobby of her residential building in The Annex.

The incident happened in the area of Bloor Street West and Walmer Road shortly before 10 p.m. on Nov. 29.

Police say that as a 38-year-old woman approached the front door of her building, she noticed a man standing out front.

The man entered the vestibule with the woman and waited for her to use her fob to open the inner door.

As the man tried to enter with the woman, she asked him if he lived in the building.

Police say the man then punched the woman in the face, knocking her to the ground. He then fled.

The suspect is described as black, approximately five-foot-eight with a thin build, and large bulgy eyes. He was wearing black Nike pants and shoes, a black hooded sweater and a black toque.

Investigators have also released images of the suspect from security camera footage.

Police say similar incidents have been reported involving a male in the area.

Anyone with information is being asked to contact police at 416-808-1400 or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
