Toronto police are investigating two reports of feces being thrown at people in university libraries.

On Friday, someone allegedly entered Robarts Library at the University of Toronto and tossed fecal matter at a person.

Police spokesperson Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook said a similar incident occurred at a library at York University on Sunday.

Yanni Dagonas, acting chief spokesperson for York University, confirmed on Monday that an unknown man entered Scott Library and threw “a substance, suspected of containing fecal matter, on a student” at the institution.

“York University Security Services responded to the incident,” Dagonas wrote in an email to the Star. “We have reached out to the victim of the assault to offer support. We are also investigating the incident and working with Toronto Police Service.”

A University of Toronto spokesperson said they are supporting the police in their investigation.

“As a public university we work to make the resources of our libraries as open as possible,” they said. “What happened was shocking and assistance was provided to those affected.”

Police released photos of a suspect in the incident at York University and describe him as being in his 20’s with a medium build. He is seen in the photos wearing a black hat, a blue hoodie, light coloured pants and black gloves.

Const. David Hopkinson said the individual is not considered a suspect for the incident at U of T and police have not confirmed if the two incidents are linked.
