Toronto police are asking for the public's assistance in identifying a man who allegedly left a pack of syringes outside of a Toronto grade school on Tuesday morning.

Police say the suspect left needles at a school in the Eglinton Avenue and Mount Pleasant Road area at around 10 am yesterday.

Police say the package contained syringes and other paraphernalia, and was left by the suspect before fleeing the scene on a bicycle.

“Some were new [syringes] in packages and sealed, some were not, some had caps on them," Det. Sgt. Scott Bradbury told CP24. "They saw this person leave the package, they picked it up and they called police immediately.”

The man is described by police as being 5’9”, 35-45 years of age, with a medium build. He was wearing a white and blue Blue Jays baseball cap, a white and grey striped long-sleeved sweater under a black down vest, grey pants, and black running shoes.

He was last seen riding a dark-coloured bicycle.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-5300, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), online at www.222tips.com, online on the Toronto Police Facebook Leave a Tip page, or text TOR and your message to CRIMES (274637).
