An arrest has been made after a female suspect pushed another woman off a subway platform in Toronto Sunday night, police say.
On Monday morning, police said a woman narrowly escaped being hit by a TTC subway train after she was pushed off the platform. Police said the incident happened at the Bloor-Yonge subway station downtown at around 9 p.m.
A 39-year-old woman suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries due to the fall but was not hit by the train, police said.
Police told Global News the woman managed to crawl underneath the covered part of the platform to avoid being struck by the train that came through the subway station.
