Ottawa police say a 26-year-old man has been arrested following several assaults on passengers travelling on OC Transpo vehicles Monday morning.

Police said on Monday that officers along with OC Transpo Special Constables were on scene investigating an “incident” at the Bayview LRT station at approximately 11 a.m.

In an update on Tuesday, police confirmed they were called after reports of an assault in progress involving “multiple” passengers on one of the LRT trains near Tunney’s Pasture.

It was later learned the suspect had assaulted four people while uttering “hate-filled” comments aboard various OC Transpo buses and trains between the Algonquin College and Bayview stations, police say.

All four victims sustained serious injuries, according to police, though Ottawa paramedics said Monday no one was taken to hospital.
