The TTC’s largest union says the transit authority is putting the safety of its employees at risk after a subway operator was assaulted Friday evening. Kevin Morton, secretary-treasurer of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 113, said a woman was working as a guard on the Bloor-Danforth line on St. Patrick’s Day when she was approached by a man who cursed the TTC before punching her in the face at Lansdowne Station. Morton said the woman, who was working as a guard at the time of the alleged assault, sustained broken teeth. A TTC spokesperson said a transit enforcement officer went to the scene at Dundas West Station. They said the suspect had already fled on foot and they had no additional details about him.
