Toronto police are asking the public to help them identifying a man who they say kicked a fellow TTC bus passenger in a seat dispute.

The confrontation occurred near Yonge St. on an eastbound Finch bus just before midnight on Sept. 27, police said in a news release.

The dispute began over the assailant putting his foot on the victim’s seat, police said.

The assailant then raised his foot and held it near the victim’s face.

As the victim got up to leave, the assailant kicked him in the back, slamming him into one of the bus’s support poles, police say.

The assailant then got off the bus.

He is described as being around 27 years old, black, six feet tall, with short dark hair, scruffy facial hair. He was wearing glasses, a baseball cap and a collared shirt with the logo of a pizza company.

This is not the first time a dispute over a TTC bus seat has been captured on camera.

In September 2014, a TTC passenger posted a video of man on the 72 Pape bus cursing at a woman who had asked him to remove his bag from an empty seat.

Both the poster of the video and the woman alleged that the man pushed her and stomped on her foot.

The man, dressed in a green shirt and bowler hat, became known on social media as the “TTC leprechaun.”
