TORONTO (NEWS 1130) – The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is investigating after a video surfaced on social media that appears to show a young man filming himself while riding on the back of a subway car.
The man appears to be holding on to the rear car of an older subway train.
He shouts “on the back of a train!” into his camera as the subway travels through a station.
The video was reportedly filmed about a year ago.
CityNews managed to track down the person who risked life and limb to shoot the brief video. The 20-year-old said it was on his “bucket-list” and admitted that he was inebriated at the time.
He said he shot the video and posted it to an Instagram group.
The TTC’s Stuart Green wasn’t impressed. Green called it an “incredibly dumb thing” to do and said they would be pursuing charges once the thrill-seeker is identified.
“We do have an investigation underway,” Green told CityNews. “We are taking it incredibly seriously.”
“This has to be one of the strangest and dumbest things we’ve seen on our property in a long time.”
