Jason Wang says he never saw who attacked him in a Toronto transit station more than a year ago.

Instead, he says he felt the impact – something slamming into his neck and shoulder, pushing him into a nearby wall.

The next day, in October 2021, he says he called the transit agency to follow up, hoping to report the incident, and was told he would hear back within 15 days.While the TTC says it can't confirm an agent ever ensured Wang would receive a response in 15 days, Wang says the commission should take responsibility and investigate instances of alleged assault on public transit property.

“All I could see was a fleeing man, I couldn't even see a face,” Wang said. “I just remember [they were carrying] a stuffed black garbage bag.”As the crowds continued to move towards the shuttle buses, Wang said he was unable to break free and lost sight of his alleged attacker.
