A mentally ill man who disappeared from an outing at the Rogers Centre on Tuesday night has been found and returned to the Whitby Mental Health Centre.
Toronto police said Thursday afternoon that 31-year-old Mylvaganam Vaasuhan was located downtown at about 1:20 p.m. in the Albert and James streets area.
Police did not immediately release any more information about Vaasuhan's return.
Vaasuhan, responsible for sex attacks on two young girls, was the subject of a citywide search. Toronto and Durham police issued a public safety alert and warned that young girls were at risk.
The inmate was without medication, which he uses to control his schizophrenia, paranoia and sexual urges.
Vaasuhan was with other patients and staff supervisors at the Toronto Blue Jays game when he wandered off.
In 2002, he was found not criminally responsible by reason of a mental disorder for sexual attacks on two young girls, aged five and eight, at a playground.
Vaasuhan said he wanted to play with the girls and take them to his "dungeon," police said. After the girls were accosted, they ran home.
A court ordered Vaasuhan to remain at a medium security unit in Whitby indefinitely, and he is banned from having contact with anyone under the age of 14.
He is, however, eligible to participate in community outings, such as the sporting event.
