Toronto police say a man has been charged after a large knife was allegedly pulled out at Bloor-Yonge subway station Sunday.
Officers said the incident happened shortly after 2:30 p.m. on board a TTC subway train.
Investigators allege the man was yelling, swearing and pacing around the subway car.
They said he then pulled out a knife from a duffel bag and continued pacing around the train.
According to officers, other passengers on the train alerted TTC officials who then called police.

By the time officers were on scene, police said the man placed the knife back into the duffel bag and fled the train and station before authorities arrived.
Police released security images of the suspect Monday in the hope that someone would recognize him.
Worawut Choeipho, 23, of Toronto, has since been charged with carrying a concealed weapon, possessing a weapon dangerous to public peace and mischief under $5,000.
He appeared in a Toronto court Tuesday morning.
