Toronto police are looking to identify a man who allegedly punched and choked a TTC streetcar driver in the city's downtown area last month.

Police say on Nov. 12 at approximately 2:30 p.m., a passenger reported seeing the man and another passenger allegedly damaging a streetcar in the Spadina Avenue and Richmond Street area.

When the TTC operator asked the two about their actions, police say the man — seen in security footage released Saturday — slapped the driver in the face.
