A 36-year-old man of no fixed address is facing charges of sexual assault, indecent acts, and assaulting an officer in connection to three incidents at Newmarket bus shelters.
York Regional Police said a victim was waiting at a bus shelter near Davis Drive and Eagle Street on Oct. 8 at 7:30 a.m. when a man approached, exposed himself, removed his pants, and began to touch his genitals.
Police received a second report about a similar incident at the bus shelter at 7:15 p.m., where a man was naked and touched his genitals, a police news release stated. In both instances, the suspect had left the area before police were notified.
