A man was taken to hospital with serious injuries. The suspect fled the scene.
The violent incident comes after 16-year-old Gabriel Magalhaes was stabbed to death on Saturday night inside Keele Station in an unprovoked attack.
Police say Jordan O’Brien-Tobin, 22, of no fixed address, was later arrested in the subway attack and charged with one count of first-degree murder.
The boy’s death is the latest in a string of violent incidents on the TTC, which had to bolster safety measures in recent months to allay rising rider concerns.
Toronto Police stepped up its presence on the transit network in late January by enlisting more than 80 officers to put in overtime shifts to serve as extra patrols on the TTC. Those additional shifts came to an end on March 13.
