Toronto police have charged a man with assault after another man was pushed onto the subway platform at Main Street Station in the early hours Sunday.

The incident happened around 1 a.m. when a man waiting for a subway train was approached from behind by a stranger and shoved off the platform, landing on the tracks.

The assailant then boarded the next westbound train while bystanders helped the victim get back on the platform.

No one was injured.

Police released security camera images of the suspect along with a description Monday.

On April 10 police said Leslie Perault, 64, is facing a number of charges in connection with the incident. He has been charged with two counts of assault, mischief endangering life and common nuisance.
