Police had launched a public appeal for help identifying the woman after the clip sparked outrage earlier this week.

Const. David Hopkinson said police had received a slew of tips about the case.

Marcella Zoia of Toronto is charged with one count each of mischief endangering life, mischief endangering property under $5,000 and common nuisance.

Her lawyer said she was embarrassed and understands the public anger generated by the alleged incident.

“She wishes it never happened,” Greg Leslie told reporters after his client was granted bail. “Of course, she would never wish anybody would be hurt.”
