Toronto police have arrested a man wanted in a TTC bomb threat investigation at the Bloor-Yonge subway station earlier this month.
Police say Jonathan Fox, 30, from Toronto, faces three charges: threatening death, mischief under $5,000, and mischief over $5,000.
He is expected to appear in court on Monday.
Just before 2 p.m. on Aug. 13, police responded to a call for a bomb threat at Bloor-Yonge Station. The incident temporarily shut down all train lines at the station.
According to police, the suspect announced to the people on board a crowded southbound train that he had a bomb and would blow up the train.
Police say this led to an unsafe evacuation of the train and the man left the station in the midst of the chaotic crowd.
The bomb squad was called in to investigate and determined there was no threat.
