Investigators are trying to determine the identity of a man who they believe attacked an 11-year-old boy in Brampton before school, Peel Regional Police said.

Police responded to a call at 7:44 a.m. on Wednesday of an assault from Sunny View Public School at 30 Chapparal Dr., near Sandalwood Pkwy. and Torbram Rd. The school told police one of their students walked into the middle school and told them he’d been assaulted.

Police said the boy suffered minor injuries that were treated at the scene by paramedics. Const. Mark Fischer said the injuries were not serious and the boy was not transported to a hospital.

The school has not been locked down and police said there were no other safety issues for the school or its students.

Officers and a canine remained at the scene, trying to determine “what exactly happened,” said Fischer, adding police were searching for any video surveillance in the area.

Fischer said the man is described as 6 feet tall and was last spotted wearing a black hoodie, black or blue sweatpants, and black Nike shoes, said Fischer. He added that there was no given age.

He said police are asking anybody with information to come forward.
