© Provided by Toronto SunKNOW HIM? Hamilton Police are seeking this suspect in a violent sexual attack.
A 46-year-old sex trade worker is fighting for her life after being violently sexually assaulted in Hamilton’s east end.
Cops say that on Monday around 2:55 a.m., officers were flagged down by a witness in the area of 353 Barton St. E. after a woman was found brutally beaten in a nearby alleyway.
The victim was transported to hospital in life-threatening condition and remains in hospital.
According to detectives, based on evidence they obtained, the attack “contained a sexual component” and as a result are treating the attack as a sexual assault investigation. They later confirmed the victim was a sex trade worker in Hamilton.
Det.-Sgt. Steve Bereziuk provided an update Tuesday, telling reporters “thankfully a witness had an opportunity to see them leave together into an alleyway and a short time thereafter heard her screams for help.”
Bereziuk said the witness was able to confront the suspect and words were briefly exchanged between the two before the suspect fled the scene.

The suspect is described as a young Black male, young, tall, thin, with short braided hair who was wearing a black and white track suit. He fled westbound on foot on Barton St. E without his jacket on.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 905-546-3843 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Bereziuk said the victim is still in critical condition and is not yet awake. It’s not yet clear if the victim and the suspect knew each other.
In a second sexual offence under investigation in Hamilton, police were called just before 8:30 p.m. Monday to a sexual offence in the area of Cannon St. E. near Lottridge St.
Police say a male had approached a young person and asked them to perform a sexual act before exposing himself.
The man is described as Black, in his 20s, with a medium build and short black hair. He was wearing a bright orange crew neck sweater, dark-coloured track pants and sandals.
He was last seen south on Barnsdale Ave. N. riding a dark blue mountain bike.
