Male Arrested for Riding on Top of Moving Train in Mississauga

Police have recently arrested a Mississauga man for riding on top of a moving train.

Earlier this month, police say Metrolinx investigators learned of a viral video that was posted on social media in June 2017, depicting a male riding on top of a moving GO train heading westbound along the Lakeshore West train line.

On Monday, September 17, police arrested and charged a 19 year old male from Mississauga under the Railway Safety Act.

As the male was a young person at the time of the incident, police say his identity will not be released.

He is set to appear at court in Brampton at a later date.

Anyone with further information related to this incident may call police at 905-453-2121, ext. 1233.
