An assault at the Sherbourne subway station Thursday morning left a TTC special constable with a broken leg. The injured officer was with his partner, keeping an eye on the morning rush into and out of the subway.
He suffered a torn Achilles tendon along with a broken leg and had to be wheeled out of the station. The two special constables tried to question a large man about his Metropass and when they found it was fake, their suspect allegedly lashed out.
Curtis Wilson faces multiple charges including assault, fraud and resisting arrest.
