A 39-year-old Vaughan man wanted for allegedly throwing coffee at a TTC bus driver has been arrested and charged with assault.
York police managed to identify the suspect after releasing surveillance video of the incident last week in which the accused is seen tossing the brew shortly after 8 a.m. on June 8 at the intersection of Dufferin Street and Dufferin Hill Drive.
