A chilling incident unfolded at the University of Toronto’s St. George Campus early Tuesday morning, as a vehicle became the target of a deliberate fire.
Police responded to the scene around 12:55 a.m., discovering a car engulfed in flames, sustaining extensive damage from the arson. Thankfully, no one was hurt during the incident, but the act has sparked a city-wide search.
Investigators are seeking a male suspect, described as approximately 5-foot-11 with a slender build and short, dark hair. He was last seen wearing a distinctive outfit: a beige hoodie, grey jeans, and black shoes, topped with a beige tuque.
A key identifying feature of the suspect is a black backpack he carried, adorned with a noticeably worn and tattered Canadian flag hanging from its rear. This detail could prove crucial in identifying the individual responsible.
Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding this arson or the suspect’s whereabouts to come forward. Those wishing to provide details can contact police directly or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers.
