TORONTO -- A Toronto man is facing charges after police allege he tried to lure two girls into his car on separate occasions.

Police say the first incident occurred on April 7 near Coxwell Avenue and Gerrard Street in the city's east end.

They allege a man drove up to a 16-year-old girl and tried to get her to come for a ride, but she ran away and alerted an adult.

Police say five days later, the same man drove up to a 13-year-old girl near Coxwell and Danforth avenues and tried to convince her to get in his car.

They say she also ran away and told an adult.

Fidai Nasir, 52, is charged with two counts of criminal harassment.
