Toronto police are investigating after several women reported seeing a male lurking in washrooms at York University over the past week.

The series of incidents began last Friday when a woman contacted campus security about a man in one of washrooms in Curtis Lecture Halls, said Wallace Pidgeon, spokesperson for the university.

The voyeur-type behaviour continued again on Tuesday when two women went into a washroom around 6 p.m. and noticed a man in the stall beside them.

Police said the man then reached under the stall holding a cell phone.

Both women left the washroom, and the man also fled from the scene.

A couple of hours later, around 8:30 p.m., a third woman entered a different washroom at Curtis Lecture Halls.

Police said that while she was using the washroom she saw a man peering over the top of the stall.

The man again fled the scene.

Pidgeon said security has been increased and hopes cooperation with police will lead to an arrest.

“We certainly hope this individual is apprehended and that’s why we’re working closely with police,” he said.

Campus security cameras captured images of the man who was wearing a grey knitted sweatshirt, blue jeans, and a grey toque.

He is described as brown, between 20 to 25 years old, with a chin strap and dark hair. He’s approximately 5’9” with a medium build.
