Toronto police are asking for the public’s help identifying a suspect who allegedly yelled anti-LGBTQ+ remarks and pushed a passenger on a TTC subway train earlier this month.
The incident, which is being investigated as a hate-motivated assault, happened on the evening of March 12.
Police said a person got on board an eastbound train at Islington Station, and while travelling, they were approached by a man who allegedly made anti-LGBTQ+ remarks.
The man then allegedly pushed the victim, resulting in a leg injury.
On Wednesday, police released a composite sketch of the suspect, who is described as 50 to 55 years old, between 220 and 230 pounds, with a large build, shaggy red/brown hair past his ears and a long reddish beard.
