Toronto Police say officers responded to the incident at Kennedy subway station, near Kennedy Rd. and Eglinton Ave. E., around 10 a.m.
“(A man) with a sharp object in his hand … began chasing several people inside the subway station,” Const. Shannon Whitehead said in a statement released Friday.
She said the man “then started yelling racial slurs to the people he was chasing.”
The assailant ran off before officers arrived at the station.
Investigators have released an image of a suspect in the incident and on Saturday police announced a man had been arrested.
Gary Bosse, of Toronto, is charged with uttering threats, weapons dangerous, assault with a weapon and four counts of failure to comply with a probation.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to call police at 416-808-4100 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-88-222-TIPS (8477).
