Police have released a composite sketch of suspect wanted after two women were assaulted in a Parkwoods neighbourhood park earlier this week.

Both incidents occurred in Brookbanks Park, located in the Don Valley Parkway and York Mills Road area, Monday afternoon.

The first assault occurred at around 1:30 p.m. According to police, the 33-year-old victim was approached from behind and assaulted by a man who then fled the area.

A half hour later, a 20-year-old woman was approached and assaulted in the same manner.

Police believe the same suspect is responsible for both incidents.

A composite sketch of a suspect was released Thursday afternoon.

The man is described as black, in his 20s, standing five-foot-six to five-foot-nine, with a skinny build.

Police said he was last seen in the area yesterday wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, green or grey pants, and running shoes. He was also wearing a black ski mask and black aviator-style sunglasses.

Investigators are asking area residents to be vigilant.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-3300 or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
