A man in his late 20s is recovering in an intensive care unit after being punched during an altercation on Yonge Street on Saturday night.

Toronto police Sgt. Walter Brasca told ctvtoronto.ca that two men got into an altercation outside a Pickel Barrel restaurant, near Yonge and Dundas Streets, at about 7:30 p.m.

The victim was punched hard enough that he suffered a broken jaw, Brasca said.

Brasca said the victim's condition has stabilized since he was taken to hospital, though he remains unconscious.

The suspect who punched the victim was last seen heading south on Yonge Street, wearing a black T-shirt and black pants.

He is described as a white male, approximately 5'9" in height and weighing between 145 and 150 pounds. The suspect has long brown hair pulled back in a ponytail and he has a goatee.

Witnesses are asked to call police at 416-808-5204, or to call Crime Stoppers at 416-222-8477.
