Two women standing on a Toronto subway platform on Christmas Eve narrowly escaped death after a complete stranger pushed them towards the tracks.
The women managed to keep their footing and stay safely on the platform.
Toronto police say they have a suspect in custody.
The incident happened just after 6 p.m. Thursday at St. Andrew's Station, located at the corner of King Street West and University Avenue.
Police say a male suspect approached a 22-year-old woman who was standing on the platform waiting for the northbound train. The woman was pushed just as the train was pulling into the station. Luckily, she managed to escape and call TTC staff for help.
While she made the call, the suspect ran over to the southbound platform where a second woman was pushed. Police say they haven't identified the second woman.
The suspect was then seen boarding the southbound train.
However, he was arrested a short time later by TTC Special Constables.
Sean Duck, a 29-year-old resident of Toronto, has been charged with one count of aggravated assault.
