On Friday, May 21, 2021, at approximately, 4:00 p.m., a 32-year-old woman from Mississauga was walking in the area of Hurontario Street and Eglinton Avenue West. It was reported that as she walked past a 2015 blue Honda Civic, an unknown man approached her and asked if he could use her phone. The woman gave him her phone to use, and he proceeded to ask if she needed a ride home, to which she agreed.

It is alleged that once inside the vehicle, the man drove off in the opposite direction of the woman’s residence. It is alleged that during the drive, the man assaulted the woman multiple times, preventing her from exiting the car. She finally managed to escape from the vehicle in the area of Godwick Drive and Atwood Lane in Mississauga. The woman suffered minor injuries but did not require medical attention.
