The victim and the suspect are not known to each other, police told CTV News Toronto.

After the woman got into the vehicle, police said, the suspect drove to a nearby dead-end street in the area of Felstead and Lamb avenues.

That’s where the victim was allegedly sexual assaulted, according to police.

The incident was interrupted, however, after a black sedan drove towards the dead-end street and startled the suspect, police said.

The victim managed to exit the vehicle. She suffered non-life-threating injuries following the assault, police told CTV News Toronto. The suspect then fled the scene after mounting the sidewalk.

Now, police want to speak to the driver of that black sedan, and any other witnesses or victims, in connection with the incident.

The suspect is described by police as an East Indian male in his 20s with a thin build. He was wearing dark clothing at the time of the alleged attack.

No other details have been released by investigators.
