Police in Toronto are looking for Aharsh Krishnakumar of Brampton.

A 26-year-old Brampton man who was on probation is wanted in connection with a sexual assault in Scarborough last month.

Toronto Police investigators are asking the public for help locating Aharsh Krishnakumar after an incident in the Kennedy Road and Progress Avenue area on Sept. 12.

Police allege Krishnakumar was in the area at approximately 9 p.m. when he entered a parking lot in his vehicle and sexually assaulted a female victim.

Officers were called to the area, but police say the accused fled when they arrived.

Krishnakumar is now wanted on several charges, including assault, sexual assault, assault with a weapon and forcible confinement.

He is also wanted for flight from a police officer, dangerous operation of a conveyance and failing to comply with a probation order.

Police have released an image of Krishnakumar as they attempt to locate him.

The allegations have not been tested in court.

Toronto police are asking anyone who may have information about Krishnakumar’s whereabouts or the incident to contact investigators at 416-808-4100.

Police have not provided details about the nature of the alleged sexual assault or indicated whether the victim and accused were known to one another.

The investigation comes as Toronto police continue to ask members of the public to report information about sexual assaults and provide support to victims.

Police define sexual assault as any form of unwanted sexual contact, which can include kissing, grabbing, oral sex or penetration.

Anyone who has experienced sexual assault or knows someone who has can also seek information about reporting options and community support through YourChoice.to.

Police are urging anyone who recognizes Krishnakumar or knows where he may be to contact investigators rather than approaching him directly.
