Toronto police say a man is in custody after a woman was randomly drop-kicked by an assailant in Trinity Square near the Eaton Centre last week.

Police said that at 9 a.m. on May 19, a 32-year-old woman was walking in Trinity Square near the Eaton Centre when a man ran up behind her, jumped in the air and drop-kicked her, knocking her to the ground.

Police say the man then fled the scene.

Investigators called it a “completely unprovoked” attack.

On Friday, police in the Queen Street East and Goreway Avenue area of Brampton arrested a suspect identified as Oshae Geddes, 30, of Toronto.

He has been charged with one count of assault.

He appeared in court at Old City Hall on Saturday morning.
