Four days later, on after 10 p.m. on June 7, a 21-year-old woman got off the subway at Queen Street station. Police said the same female suspect assaulted her.
Just after 9 p.m. the next week, on June 14, a transit employee at Spadina Subway Station had cleaning supplies stolen. The suspect chased the employee and assaulted them, police said.
