Toronto Police have charged a 49-year-old man after another man was allegedly pushed into the side of a moving train at a downtown subway station.

Police say the incident took place around 4 p.m. on Sunday (at Yonge and Bloor station).

They say there was some kind of alteration before the accused allegedly pushed the victim into the moving train as it was leaving the platform.

The victim was found lying unconscious on the platform and was taken to hospital in serious condition.

Kirk Platten is charged with aggravated assault.

It's still not clear whether the suspect and victim knew each other.
