Toronto Police say officers responded to a call for a person with a knife in the area of York Mills TTC station, near Yonge St. and York Mills Rd., just before 6 p.m. on Dec. 15.

Investigators have now released security camera images of a suspect who was in custody briefly but managed to take off.

“It is reported that the suspect and victim got into a dispute after exiting the subway station on Yonge St.,” Const. Sinderela Chung said in a statement released Thursday.

She said the suspect allegedly assaulted the victim.
