Toronto police release image of suspect in feces-throwing incident

Toronto police have released images of a man they believe is responsible for throwing feces on an unsuspecting person at York University on Sunday.

It happened around 5 p.m. at Scott Library on campus.

Police say a man entered the library carrying a bucket of “liquefied fecal matter.” He then dumped the bucket onto an unsuspecting person who was sitting at a table before fleeing on foot.

The man is described as being in his twenties, with a medium build. He was wearing a black hat, blue top, light-coloured pants, and black gloves.

The incident is one of three that have happened in Toronto since last week.

Police were called to a similar incident at the Robarts Library at the University of Toronto on Friday afternoon and another on Monday night.

Investigators say in the most recent incident a young woman was walking in the area of College Street and University when an man walked up to her and poured fecal matter on her.

The suspect in both incidents is described as black, 20-30 years old with a medium build.
