The Toronto Police Service (TPS) is searching for a man after two people were attacked on a TTC subway, extending a trend of random attacks in the city so far this month.
This latest incident was reported on Thursday evening when a man and a woman were assaulted in separate incidents near Kennedy Station.
At around 10:00 p.m., the suspect allegedly boarded a subway train and started punching another male passenger, unprovoked, TPS said in a press release.
Roughly an hour later, a similar situation was reported when the man boarded a subway train again at Kennedy Station and randomly attacked a woman by shaking her.
Police said the suspect also robbed the woman of her headphones and threatened her.
No injuries were reported in either incident.
Police have since identified the suspect as 25-year-old Brendonn Sevilla-Zelaya, of Toronto, and have released several photos of him in hopes of tracking him down.

Sevilla-Zelaya is wanted on charges of robbery, assault causing bodily harm, and uttering threats.
He is described as being 5'7" with a tattoo on his neck and he was last seen wearing light blue jeans, black shoes, and a dark grey hoodie.
This latest random attack comes only days after 2 people were randomly slashed in the face in another pair of unprovoked attacks.
Earlier this month, two women were victims of another random attack on a TTC subway at High Park Station. Both were stabbed and one of the victims was killed.
Recent incidents of violence have sparked a bigger conversation about public safety, particularly on the TTC.
Police have asked anyone with information about this most recent attack to contact them at 416-808-4100, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), or at www.222tips.com.
Narcity requested an interview with TPS to discuss this growing trend of random attacks in the city but did not hear back before publishing.
