TORONTO – Toronto police say a man has been arrested after a suspected hate-motivated assault in the PATH underground pedestrian walkway earlier this year and a separate alleged assault this week.
Police say the first incident happened on Jan. 16 in the underground walkway between Scotia Plaza and First Canadian Place.
Police allege the suspect approached the victim and spat on them in an unprovoked confrontation, and later walked toward the victim in an “aggressive manner” while saying anti-Black racial slurs.
Police say they also responded to a report this week of an assault near Yonge and King streets, when a man was asked to leave a building before he allegedly assaulted the victim.
They say the 37-year-old suspect from Toronto has been charged with hate-motivated assault among other offences, including assault with a weapon and failure to comply with probation.
Police say he was scheduled to appear in court Thursday.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 9, 2026.
