Police have released a surveillance camera image of a male suspect who has allegedly sexually assaulted a number of young girls near the intersection of Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue.

Police say the man frequents the area and watches for girls between the ages of 13 and 16.

The man then waits until the area becomes busy with pedestrian traffic, at which point police allege he approaches the girls and sexually assaults them.

The man is described as five-foot-seven, clean-shaven with a medium build and short brown hair. He was last seen wearing a pink dress shirt, dark trousers and black dress shoes.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at (416) 808-5300 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at (416) 222-TIPS (8477).
