Man wanted after allegedly blowing an airhorn in woman's ear in Newmarket
York police are looking to identify a suspect after a woman was assaulted while riding a bike along a Newmarket trail earlier this week.
Police say on Wednesday, at around 9:30 a.m., the victim was cycling on a trail in the area of Timothy and Prospect streets.

He was last seen wearing a green hat, a black t-shirt with a motorcycle logo, grey shorts, and black shoes.
Investigators say a number of people were in the area at the time and are encouraging any witnesses to come forward.
