A TTC employee was viciously beaten on Monday night after approaching a man who was hopping between moving subway cars.

Just before 9 p.m. on Monday night, a TTC employee spotted a man jumping the narrow space betwee two cars just as the train was pulling into Islington Station, the second-to-last stop on the western end of the Bloor Line.

The employee approached the man and was immediately kicked in the right leg, causing him to crumple to the floor of the train. His attacker then grabbed a compartment door and repeatedly slammed it into the face of the TTC worker. The attacker reportedly left the train briefly, only to return and resume kicking the door into the injured employee. The man fled the scene before transit police could arrive.
