Toronto Police have laid charges after a crazed axe-wielding man terrorized TTC passengers during Wednesday’s morning rush hour.
Officers were called just after 7:30 a.m. for a man with a knife at the Ossington subway.
Police allege the man — who “was acting in a strange manner” — entered a subway train with three axes and headed toward Spadina station, where he exited and went to the streetcar platform.
“He began swinging the largest of the axes in a threatening manner causing numerous people to flee the area,” police said Thursday.
He then fled by running into the streetcar tunnel.
Dean Watson, 33, of Toronto, has been charged with weapons dangerous, carry a concealed weapon, assault with a weapon, mischief and fail to comply with probation.
Police are asking witnesses to call 416-808-5300 or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
