Toronto police have arrested a 33-year-old man who allegedly hurled racist remarks at one person on a TTC bus last month.

Police said they were called to the area of Bloor Street West and Jane Street on the morning of August 12.

Officers learned that a man allegedly yelled anti-Black racial slurs at an individual while onboard a TTC bus and then sprayed noxious substance at the victim.
