A person is taken into custody under the Mental Health Act once every four times a TTC constable reports to the subway tracks, a Toronto Sun analysis shows.
The TTC has also confirmed the number of such events each year has grown from pre-pandemic figures.
A database of “unauthorized track-level” events that involved a special constable, covering the time from January 2020 to April, was provided to the Toronto Sun after a freedom-of-information request. Some incidents also involved Toronto Police.
