The Canadian Press TORONTO - A couple has been charged after having sex in public on a Toronto subway train and platform.
The two were clearly visible to other passengers, including one who video-taped their brazen behaviour.
Toronto Transit Commission spokesman Brad Ross says it happened around 2:30 p.m. Sunday on a southbound train at the Spadina station.
The train was stopped for 14 minutes and police were called. At some point, the couple got off the train and continued on the platform.
When police arrived, the couple was charged with engaging in a lewd act.
Ross says they were taken to hospital as they both appeared to be extremely intoxicated.
"It is a public place. There are children, of course, and other customers, and engaging in sexual activity is something you might not want to do," Ross said.
When asked how often such things are reported on the transit system, Ross said: "These things happen in stranger places."
"I don't see these reports very often, that's fair to say."
