A 29-year-old Toronto man will spend 45 days in jail after threatening to shoot a TTC employee in the face.

On Tuesday, a TTC employee saw a man smoking in a non-smoking area at Finch Station. When asked to put out his cigarette, the man reached into his backpack and told the employee “you have three seconds to get out of my face or I’ll get my gun and shoot you in the face.”

The man got on the subway and after causing a disturbance on the train, was located and arrested at Davisville Station. When police detained the man, they discovered he was in breach of probation.

Subsequently, based on the description provided by the employee at Finch Station, it was determined this was the same suspect and he was additionally charged with uttering a death threat.

Sean Gross, 29, pleaded guilty Wednesday and was sentenced to 45 days in jail.
