Police say they have arrested and charged a 36-year-old man in an unprovoked choking assault and a robbery on Christmas Eve.聽

Toronto police say officers responded to a call about a man assaulting a female victim in the area of Queen Street West and University Avenue just before 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

They say a man choked the victim without any provocation after approaching her on the street.聽

Police further allege that the same man robbed a store near Yonge Street and Wellesley Street East not long after that.
