Suspect image released after feces poured on people in Toronto university libraries
TORONTO -- Police have released an image of a suspect wanted in connection with one of two incidents in which feces and urine were thrown at people inside Toronto university libraries.
Police said the first incident they are investigating occurred on Nov. 22 at the University of Toronto's Robarts Library.
The second incident occurred on Nov. 24 in York University's Scott Libary, police said.
"At approximately 5:00 p.m. yesterday, an unknown male entered Scott library and deposited a substance, suspected of containing fecal matter, on a student," a spokesperson for York University told CTV News Toronto on Monday.
"York University Security Services responded to the incident. We have reached out to the victim of the assault to offer support. We are also investigating the incident and working with Toronto Police Service."
Toronto police confirmed Monday afternoon that a man entered the library carrying a bucket and poured the contents onto “an unsuspecting person who was seated at a table.”
The man then fled the area, police said.
Investigators confirmed the bucked contained liquefied fecal matter.
A security camera image of a suspect wanted in the connection with the incident has been released by investigators.
The suspect has been described as being in his 20s with a medium build. He was last seen wearing a black hat, blue top, light-coloured pants and black gloves.
Student says she ‘will never forget the smell’
A student at University of Toronto told CP24 she was in the library at the time of the incident and will "never forget the smell."
"I thought it was coffee or something,” Kaylie, who did not provide her last name, said on Monday. "All of a sudden the smell hit."
"I thought I was going to faint. Me and my friends packed up our stuff and ran out of the room."
Authorities said the two police divisions investigating the case will likely work together due to the similar nature of the incidents.

Feces and urine thrown on Toronto university students at libraries, police looking for suspect
Toronto police are investigating two reports of what appears to be human feces being thrown inside of Toronto university campuses.
Investigators say the first strike occurred at the Robarts Library on Nov. 22, with the second incident allegedly taking place at a York University library on Nov. 24.
Police at two different divisions have been assigned to investigate.
Officers say the two divisions assigned to investigate will likely work together given the similarity of the incidents.
Suspect descriptions have not been publicly released by police.
Police started investigating the incident after a post on Reddit described the heinous actions.
“Two days ago, a black man in a yellow construction hat dumped a bucket of sh!t and piss onto an East Asian student at Robarts library at U of T. Today, possibly the same guy assaulted another student at York Library said to be 3 south Asian students,” reads the post by Reddit user /u/badumdumdon.
“This is completely insane to me, I hope this guy gets caught and charged with everything under the book. Off the top of my head, this is assault with a deadly weapon, destruction of property, mischief, vandalism, and possibly a hate crime. You don’t know where he got the sh!t from, making it that much worse. There doesn’t seem to be much awareness either,” the post continued.
The description of the suspect, according to /u/TheYellowMamba98: “He was black and the perp was around 35 to 45 or so, glasses and a graying beard. He was wearing construction attire, with dark clothes like a gray vest over dark clothes. I remember his shoes were ripped and torn up, they were tan sneakers and he was using gloves and carrying the blue bucket covered with a white towel the whole time. He sprayed deodorant all over himself to cover the smell.”
