Police are searching for a suspect they say sexually assaulted a woman near the city’s waterfront earlier this month.

According to police, at around 1 p.m. on May 6, a 30-year-old woman was walking on Queen’s Quay near Lower Simcoe Street when she noticed a man leering at her.

Police say as the woman passed the man, he sexually assaulted her.

When the woman went to confront the suspect, police say he once again sexually assaulted her.

The suspect has been described by investigators as a white male who is between five-foot-ten and six feet and is between the ages of 40 and 45. Police say he had short, black hair, a heavy build with a large belly and was unshaven at the time.

The man was seen wearing dark jeans, a bright blue T-shirt with a red and yellow Superman logo on the front, a dark windbreaker and a dark baseball cap.

Police ask anyone with information to call 416-808-5200 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
