Niagara Police are on the hunt for a young suspect they believe shattered the windshield of a train as they was traveling through Grimsby.
Police were called to the scene of the westbound CN tracks located near the Oakes Road North crossing in Grimsby, regarding damage to a CN train on September 17, just before 8 pm.
Once there, they met with the conductor, who said the train was moving about 65 km/h when an “unknown object” hit and shattered the windshield. The conductor sustained some minor injuries.
Police are now on the hunt for a “person of interest” seen at the site just prior to the windshield becoming damaged.
He is described as a white, male, 16 to 20 years old, wearing a white t-shirt, black shorts and white running shoes.
Police say he was seen running from the scene holding with what appeared to be a flashlight emitting from a cellphone.
