Toronto police have released a composite sketch of a suspect in connection with the sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl in a west-end neighbourhood earlier this week.

According to police, the girl was in a common area of an apartment building in the Eglinton Avenue and Scarlett Road area when she was approached by a man armed with a weapon at around 9 p.m. Monday.

The man sexually assaulted her before fleeing in an unknown direction, police said.

In a release issued earlier this week, police described the suspect as approximately 18 years old, six feet tall, 150 pounds, with a fair complexion.

He was wearing a red hooded sweatshirt and black pants at the time of the attack.

Police issued a composite sketch of the suspect Thursday afternoon.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-2300 or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
