Toronto police are searching for a man wanted for spraying another man with a substance believed to be pepper spray during an unprovoked altercation on a TTC subway train.
Authorities say the incident happened around 10 p.m. on Feb. 28 when officers were called to Coxwell Subway Station in the Danforth.
It’s alleged that two men were travelling eastbound on the Bloor-Danforth line between Donlands and Greenwood Stations when one man, unprovoked, sprayed the other man in the face with an unknown, pepper-spray-like substance. Police said he was sprayed again each time the victim stepped away from the attack.
The male suspect is described as approximately 6-foot-tall with a medium build, 35-45 years old, with short brown hair and a greying goatee.
He was last seen wearing a black North Face jacket with a white logo on the left breast, left sleeve and middle back. He was also wearing black pants, black gloves, and tan-coloured footwear.
He’s wanted on three counts of administering a noxious substance.
