A 62-year-old man is facing charges in connection with a string of sexual assaults aboard TTC buses in Markham.
Police say the investigation began on Nov. 1 after a 21-year-old woman reported that she was sexually assaulted on two occasions while riding TTC buses in Markham.
The woman told police that she had fallen asleep on a bus travelling in the south-end of Markham when she awoke to a man touching her inappropriately.
She alleges the same thing happened to her just a few days later.
After the second incident, she came forward to police with the allegations.
In the course of the investigation, police said they identified a second female victim who was allegedly sexually assaulted under similar circumstances.
On Nov. 3, police located and arrested a suspect in relation to the case.
Vishnu Roche, 62, of Markham has been charged with three counts of sexual assault.
He is scheduled to make an appearance in a Newmarket court on Nov. 30, 3016.
Anyone with information is being asked to call the York Regional Police Special Victims Unit (Sexual Assault Section) at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7071 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
