TORONTO – Toronto police say a man has been arrested after he allegedly sexually assaulted an eight-year-old girl at a store in the city’s east end last month.

Police say they were called to the area of Finch Avenue East and McCowan Road the afternoon of May 12 after a report of a sexual assault.

They allege the 32-year-old suspect approached the girl inside a retail store, sexually assaulted her and followed her around the store.

He was scheduled to appear in court Monday.
