Toronto police have arrested a 28-year-old man in connection with a ride-share sexual assault in the Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue West area.
Investigators say just after midnight on Aug. 9, a man was hired by the victim and a friend through a ride-share platform. The man reportedly dropped the friend off and offered to drive the victim home for free. The man allegedly sexually assaulted the victim before dropping her off.
Investigators say the victim had no injuries.
