A man has been arrested and charged after a robbery victim was choked until he lost consciousness at a Toronto transit station last month, police say. 

Police say a robbery suspect choked a victim until he lost consciousness at a Toronto transit station last week before taking his belongings. 

After several years of debate, planning and construction, the TTC is set to open on Sunday the new six-stop Line 1 subway extension that will see subway service extend to Vaughan from north-end Toronto.

It’s a project that has been in the works for over a decade, but work on the TTC’s Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension is entering the final-year countdown as the transit agency aims to finish the $3.18-billion project by the end of 2017. Global News recently got a tour of Pioneer Village station, one of six new stations to open on Line 1.
