A disturbing incident unfolded at the Kennedy GO station in September, leaving authorities urgently seeking a suspect in a sexual assault case. The attack occurred around 7:30 p.m., shattering the evening commute for one young woman.
Investigators report the victim, a female youth, was on a train when a man boarded and sat beside her. The encounter quickly turned violent, escalating into a sexual assault and indecent exposure before the suspect fled the scene, leaving the victim traumatized.
The suspect is described as approximately 5-foot-8, with a medium build and short, black hair. He was last seen wearing a black tank top, blue shorts, and running shoes – details police hope will spark recognition.
In a separate, troubling case, a 27-year-old man faces charges related to alleged hate-motivated threats directed towards the 2SLGBTQI+ community. The threats were reportedly posted on a social media platform earlier this month.
Andrew Scott Carrick, of Goodwood, Ontario, was arrested and charged with uttering death threats, highlighting the escalating concern over online hate speech and its potential for real-world harm.
Meanwhile, a 24-year-old man has been charged in connection with a sexual assault reported in Toronto’s west end. He turned himself in to police on Sunday, bringing a swift resolution to that investigation.
The alleged assault took place near Bloor Street West and Brock Avenue last Thursday evening, around 9:25 p.m., as the victim was walking in the area. Anthony Birabwa, currently with no fixed address, is now facing sexual assault charges.
