Toronto police have charged a man with uttering threats in a suspected hate-motivated incident on a TTC bus last year.
Officers were called to the Dufferin Street and Lawrence Avenue West area on Sunday, April 28, 2024, after an incident on a bus.
Investigators say the accused was on the bus and began yelling at another rider.
“The accused uttered anti-Black slurs and threatened to harm the victim,” police said in a release issued on Tuesday.
Almost a year later, on April 3, 2025, police made an arrest.
Charlie Minh Van Le, 43, of Toronto, is facing a single count of uttering threats.
He’s scheduled to appear in court on Thursday, May 1.
