Toronto police are asking for the public’s help in identifying two suspects wanted in an assault investigation in the Church and Wellesley neighbourhood.
The incident took place Saturday at around 12:22 a.m., when police responded to a call about an assault in the Church Street and Alexander Street area.
Police said the victim was walking down the street when a car drove by and two suspects yelled a homophobic slur at him.
The suspects then parked their vehicle and followed the victim. When they caught up to the victim, they assaulted him, police said, and then fled in a dark-coloured sedan.
Police said the first suspect is described as a white man, six feet tall, with a thin build, wearing all-black clothing and a black ski mask.
The second suspect is described as a white man, five feet nine inches tall, with a thin build, wearing all-black clothing and a black ski mask.
Anyone with information is being asked to contact police.
