In an email to Global News on Monday, Stuart Green, a spokesperson for TTC said the company has “pulled our own video from stations and trains.”
“Goes without saying that stunts like this are incredibly dangerous and illegal,” he wrote. “They can lead to serious injury or death as well as service delays and massive inconvenience for our customers.”
In an email to Global News, Toronto Police said the incident is being investigated by the TTC.
“These incidents could also lead to criminal charges which would then be investigated by Toronto Police Service,” the email read.
Toronto police said these stunts are “extremely dangerous and may have fatal consequences for those involving themselves in such behaviour.”
