Toronto police have released photos of a suspect who allegedly pepper sprayed another man and struck him with a collapsible baton in an apartment building in Scarborough.
The assault occurred on Tuesday afternoon in the area of Wakunda Place and O’Connor Drive.
Police said a man approached another man in the hallway of a building and sprayed them with what is believed to be pepper spray.
The suspect then allegedly hit the victim with an expandable baton before fleeing the scene.
