Cops hunt sex assault suspect

Police are turning to the public for help tracking down a suspect in a recent sexual assault near Midland Avenue and Danforth Road.

On Dec. 4 at about 3 a.m., a 20-year-old woman walking north on Midland was approached more than once by a man in an SUV who tried to convince the woman to get in, police say. She ignored him.
