A 25-year-old Toronto man has been arrested after two women were sexually assaulted in the city’s Harbourfront area on Wednesday.

Investigators said on Wednesday afternoon, around 1:15 p.m., a 32-year-old woman was walking in the area of Queen’s Quay and Rees Street when she was approached by a man.

The woman said she was sexually assaulted before the man walked into a nearby apartment tower.

Police said at that point, the suspect allegedly entered an apartment and began to unpack his belongings in the unit.

A short while later, a 30-year-old woman entered the apartment and was sexually assaulted, police said.

The victim was able to flee the area and call police.

Police say a suspect identified as Ibrahim El-Shennawy was arrested Wednesday.

He has been charged with two counts of sexual assault. He appeared in court at Old City Hall on Thursday.

Investigators believe there may be other victims who have not yet come forward.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 416-808-7474 or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-8477 (TIPS).
