Toronto police say a youth has been identified as one of three people who allegedly harassed two women in hijabs on the TTC this week.

Two males and a woman are alleged to have “accosted” the women while their train was stopped at Sherbourne subway station around 6 p.m. Wednesday.

They accused the women of being terrorists, and pushed one of the victims, according to TTC spokesman Brad Ross.

A witness pulled the emergency alarm on the train, but the suspects managed to slip away before TTC special constables could arrive.

“The TTC condemns this behaviour and racist act utterly and completely,” said Ross. “We are working with police to identify these cowards.”

After Toronto police released a security image of a male suspect Friday, Const. Victor Kwong said they received a tip indicating that the suspect may be a youth.

“We have info to believe it is a certain someone,” Kwong said, but added that no arrests have been made and that the investigation is ongoing.
