Toronto police are searching for a suspect after a woman was slashed twice in the face by a knife-wielding assailant in Riverdale in the early hours of the morning last week.
Police said that at 3:15 a.m. on June 25, a woman was walking on the north side of Danforth Avenue, east of Pape Avenue, when a man began to yell at her.
Investigators said a verbal altercation ensued and as the woman attempted to walk beyond the man, he allegedly drew a knife and slashed her twice in the face.
The suspect then fled on foot, first heading westbound on Danforth Avenue and then north on Pape Avenue.
Police and paramedics arrived at the scene a short time later and took the woman to St. Michael’s Hospital for treatment.
Her injuries are considered non-life-threatening.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact police at 416-808-5400, or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-8477 (TIPS).
