A Canada wide warrant has been issued for a man wanted for several violent offences.

Hamilton police say 31-year-old Jamal Morris is facing a number of charges, including assault, sexual assault, forcible confinement, uttering threats and choking.

There has been an ongoing investigation involving Jamal between February and October 2018. Police are releasing very few details at this time to protect other parties involved, but say someone was injured and needed to be treated in hospital.

Police believe the incidents were targeted, but they say if you see Jamal, do not approach him and call 911 immediately.
