Toronto Police are tweeting out images of a man wanted in connection with the investigation of a sexual assault at Royal York Subway station, and hope the public can help them identify him.

They were called to the west-end subway station after a woman and her 13-year-old daughter were approached by a man — who then allegedly sexually assaulted the adolescent girl.
