A suspect has been arrested after a man was randomly punched in the face while waiting for a subway train in Toronto, police say.
Toronto police issued a news release about the March 6 incident on Wednesday.
Police said the victim and a suspect were waiting for a train on the eastbound platform at Islington subway station when the suspect “suddenly and without provocation, punched the victim in the face.”
The victim and suspect did not know each other, police added.
The man who was punched went to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Police said Wednesday that Toronto resident Jeffrey Lovell, 42, was wanted.
“He is considered violent. If located, do not approach. Call 9-1-1 immediately,” police said at the time.
In an update on Thursday, police said Lovell had been arrested and charged with assault.
