A TTC supervisor caught on video grabbing a rider’s camera won’t be disciplined after an internal investigation, CityNews has learned.

“The TTC has concluded the investigation and we stand by our supervisor,” said TTC spokesperson, Danny Nicholson.
The woman who recorded the incident has filed a complaint with the TTC demanding an apology. She’s also hoping to have her camera, which was damaged during the scuffle, replaced.
She began filming after an argument between a streetcar driver and rider resulted in a lengthy delay at Bathurst station Monday. When a TTC supervisor arrived and saw her filming, he reached for her camera.
“I’m not suggesting that this was handled ideally but these were difficult circumstances for our employees to have to deal with and having a video camera in your face is an added stress to an already stressful situation,” the TTC’s Brad Ross told CityNews on Wednesday.
