A man named as a suspect in the violent sexual assault of a woman near the former Maple Leaf Gardens area on Nov. 6 is now wanted in connection with an armed robbery, Toronto police say.

Investigators say a man walked into a restaurant in the King Street East and Sherbourne Street area around 3 a.m. on Friday, pulled out a firearm, and demanded money from an employee.

The suspect then fled westbound on foot.

Police say they are searching for Brennan Wayne Guigue, 45, in connection with the robbery. Guigue was already wanted in connection with a violent attack on Nov. 6 near Yonge and Alexander streets between Carlton and Wellesley streets.

Police say a 28-year-old woman was walking on Alexander just before midnight, when a man approached her from behind, grabbed her, put a gun to her head, and bound her hands behind her back. Then, he forcibly walked her to the back of a building where he allegedly sexually assaulted her.

The woman suffered minor injuries.
