A search is underway for an unidentified man who approached a Whitby home and drew a knife on a woman when she opened the door.
Shortly before 1:30 p.m. on January 21, a man got into the condo building at 712 Rossland Rd, according to Durham Regional Police. He made his way up to the 12th floor and knocked on a condo door.
