Toronto police say a woman has been charged after “numerous people” on board a TTC subway train were assaulted on Monday morning.

Police said it was around 9:24 a.m. when the assaults occurred at St. Clair subway station.

Investigators said a woman had allegedly assaulted multiple people on the train.

An off-duty police officer was able to detain the woman until more officers arrived, police said.

Toronto paramedics told Global news one person was being looked at but that no one has been transported to hospital yet.

The assault comes after two women were stabbed, fatally killing one of them on board a subway train near High Park, almost two weeks ago.
