Police have announced the arrest of a man accused of a daylight stabbing on board a Toronto subway train while it was between stations.
The incident took place on Thursday after 12 p.m. on a Line 1 subway train as it travelled southbound toward Eglinton Station.
Toronto police said the train was heading toward the station when two people got into an argument. The suspect stabbed someone “multiple times,” police said.
The incident was captured in a video that appears to show two men involved in a physical altercation on a Line 1 subway train. A man in a white shirt appears to get stabbed and runs down the train calling for help, as the suspect follows him.
