Police wrote on Twitter that a male suspect entered the Subway at 20 Kingsbridge Garden Circle, off of Hurontario Street, sometime before 10:30 p.m. on Thursday, and indicated to store staff that he had a knife.

Nobody was injured in the encounter.

He is described as a skinny black male, wearing a black rain coat with a hood and gloves, and a covering over his face.
