Toronto police have released surveillance camera images of a suspect after a woman was attacked and robbed at a Roncesvalles Avenue bank branch earlier this week.

The robbery took place at a bank branch near Fern Avenue on March 10 at around 10:40 p.m. after the bank was closed.

According to police, a man in disguise entered the ATM area of the bank armed with a knife and a bottle of aerosol repellent and attacked a 43-year-old woman who was using the machine.

In the course of the robbery, the man’s disguise was removed and he fled with some of the woman’s belongings.

Police told CP24.com that the woman sustained serious injuries in the attack.

In a news release issued Sunday, investigators released photos of the suspect and said they are looking for a man between 25 and 35 years of age. He stands between five-foot-eight and six feet tall with a medium to large build.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact investigators at 416-808-1100 or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
