Police are investigating and four teenagers are in custody and are facing charges after a passenger was reportedly shot at with a BB gun on a Toronto subway train.
Toronto police said the incident occurred at York University Subway Station at around 11:43 a.m. on Thursday.
Police said officers received reports that teens allegedly had a replica BB gun.
Police said two BB-style guns were recovered.
Officers said the victim – a female passenger – was not injured as a result of the incident.
In an update late Thursday, police said four youths from Toronto were arrested. They have charged two 15 year-old boys, a 16-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl.

All four teens will appear at Toronto North West Youth Justice Centre on Feb. 8.
Due to the Youth Criminal Justice Act their identities cannot be revealed because of their ages.
