Police have arrested a 30-year-old Toronto man in connection with an alleged sexual assault aboard a subway train earlier this month.

It happened on a southbound train near Wellesley Station shortly before 11 a.m. on Jan. 11.

According to police, the 36-year-old victim was sexually assaulted by a man after he sat down beside her.

A photograph and a description of a suspect were released last week.

In a statement Monday afternoon, police confirmed the arrest of a suspect.

Jesus Ramon Jorge Saavedra is charged with sexual assault.

He was scheduled to appear in court Friday.

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