Taneem Aziz, 36, is shown in this handout photo. Aziz is facing charges in connection with two sexual assaults.
They say that a 24-year-old female victim was waiting for an Uber that she ordered when a black SUV pulled up. Police say that the woman got into the vehicle mistakenly believing that it was her Uber.
The driver then drove the woman to a secluded spot, where is alleged to have sexually assaulted her.
Police say the driver then continued to drive around, eventually allowing the woman to exit the SUV.
The second incident happened on April 8 at around 1 p.m.
Police say that a 21-year-old woman entered a black SUV in the Royal York Road and Evans Avenue area after ordering an Uber, however the vehicle was not her Uber.
The driver then proceeded to take the woman away from Toronto, refusing to let her leave.
Police say that the driver took the woman to a fast food parking lot in Mississauga, where she attempted to get assistance from a bystander.
He then drove her to a secluded side street, where he is alleged to have sexually assaulted her."
He said that police remain concerned that there could be additional victims out there who have not yet come forward.
“There is a gap (between the alleged offences) and we know that he had been an Uber driver for that time period between the two sexual assaults, so if someone has had a bad encounter with him we would like to hear from them. Not necessarily just for the person to report the crime, of course we would like to hear that, but also to give that person some of the help and support that they need after a violent sexual encounter,” he said."
