A man leaning forward on a subway platform hopefully had some sense knocked into him as an incoming TTC train smashed his head.

The incident happened Dec. 14 at College Park station where the man can be seen on video apparently waving the train into the station.

He was struck and flipped back onto the platform and then taken to hospital with vital signs.

The police report doesn’t say the man was impaired by any substance.

“It’s a probability,” said Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook.

“It (the report) doesn’t say he was intoxicated, but people were questioning his behavior prior to the incident.”

TTC spokesman Brad Ross says he “can’t for the life of me” figure out why someone would film something so disturbing.

“And they continue to film after he was hit,” Ross said.
