Canadian police hunt grinning man who dumped buckets of faeces on university students

Police are hunting for a man who attacked university students in three separate attacks — by dumping buckets of “liquefied fecal matter” on them.

Toronto apparently stinks this time of year.

Police in that Canadian city said a bucket filled with what is believed to be faeces was dumped on a woman outside the University of Toronto around midnight on Monday — the third poop attack at the school over the past four days.

“I find this kind of behaviour inexplicable,” Toronto Mayor John Tory told CP24. “This is a person, to me, who has very serious issues, it would seem.”

He added, “But the most important thing is that the person be tracked down and if you look at the number of people who seem to be in the library when these things happened, then it may really help the police if they come forward with every single bit of information they have.”

Police say there's been a 3rd incident of someone dumping a bucket of feces on a person on or near a Toronto university campus. The latest victim was a young female attacked on the street near a University of Toronto building at College Street and University Avenue.

The latest assault comes after two other incidents — both involving “liquefied fecal matter” — unfolded inside the school library, according to CP24.

The first was on Friday, when witnesses said a man walked into the library’s cafeteria wearing a construction hat and dumped “a bucketful of brownish-yellow liquid” on several people.

The substance, lugged in Home Depot buckets, has not been positively identified, but witnesses with keen senses of smell said they were sure about what was used.

“We didn’t know what it was then,” student Jason Huang told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. “And then the smell just hits.”

Police this week released surveillance photos of the suspect on Twitter, identifying him as the stinker who walked into the library on Sunday with a big grin and a covered bucket during the second attack.

He matches the description of the culprit in the other attacks, police said.
