Man charged with criminal harassment after multiple filming incidents across Toronto

Mohamed Askar Mohamed-Razik, 45, has been charged with four counts of criminal harassment in four separate instances throughout Toronto.

Toronto police say a man has been arrested following a Criminal Harassment investigation involving multiple alleged incidents which included filming people across the city.

In a news release issued Saturday, police say that on June 8, 2025, the victim was attending an event in the Dundas Street West and Dufferin Street area when she noticed a man filming her.

When she asked him to stop, police say the man became “confrontational,” continued to harass her and refused to leave when directed by on-scene security. Police were called and the accused left the area. No injuries were reported.

In another incident on Aug 21, 2025, at approximately 2:45 p.m., police further allege that same individual approached a TTC employee working at Union Station, placed a cellphone close to the employee’s face while filming and made harassing comments about the employee’s ethnicity. Again in that incident, no injuries were reported.

A third incident occurred on Sept. 27, 2025, at approximately 3 p.m., where the victim was standing in line at David Pecaut Square when the accused approached while filming. When asked to stop, police say the accused moved closer to the victim, refused to stop filming and became increasingly confrontational.

In a fourth incident, police allege that on May 26, 2025, the accused approached a female police officer on duty in the Yonge Street and Shuter Street area, filming her while making comments about her appearance.

A few months later, on Oct. 4, 2025, police say the same officer was later working in the Yonge Street and Dundas Street West area when the accused approached her again and made comments about her appearance.

In all incidents no injuries were reported.

However, on Dec. 10, 2025, 45-year-old Mohamed Askar Mohamed-Razik, of Toronto, was arrested and charged with four counts of Criminal Harassment.

None of the allegations have been tested in court but police say he appeared at the Ontario Court of Justice, earlier this week on Wednesday.

The investigation remains ongoing and police say they believe there may be more victims.

Anyone with additional information about the accused or similar incidents is asked to contact police.
