Homicide detectives are investigating after a man in his early 20s was fatally struck by a subway train at Bloor-Yonge station on Monday morning.
Toronto police have arrested a man in his 40s in connection with the incident. He was not immediately charged.
Det. Rob North said the victim was on the platform around 10:15 a.m. and "about to get on a train" when he was hit. It's unclear if the victim was pushed or stumbled, he explained, noting they're still in the early stages of the investigation.
"We believe this person was the victim of a homicide," said North. "We believe he could have been pushed."
The man was hit by an eastbound train on Line 2. Police don't believe there was any altercation leading up to the event. The victim was taken to hospital, where he later died.
Police and transit officers arrested the suspect at the scene shortly after what they say was an "isolated" incident.
North is appealing for any witnesses to contact police.
