A 32-year-old London man charged earlier this month in a string of sexual assaults at bus stops in Brampton and Mississauga has been arrested in connection to a similar incident in London’s west end.
Police had been looking for a suspect in the case after a 17-year-old female reported being sexually assaulted by an unidentified male while waiting for a bus near Oxford Street and Proudfoot Lane in the early evening hours of Oct. 7.
The victim told police the man had entered the bus shelter, sexually assaulted her, and then fled on foot.
