Toronto police say they are looking for three suspects after a woman was slashed on the face while at a subway station this weekend.

Police say officers were called to Spadina subway station on Sunday at around 6:30 p.m. 

They say a woman was reportedly involved in a verbal dispute with three people she didn't know and a male allegedly spat in her face and repeatedly pushed her. 

Police say the male then allegedly brandished a knife and slashed the woman in the face, leaving her with injuries, before all three suspects fled.

Police say they are looking for a male suspect who was carrying a knife with a jagged edge, a teen boy between 16 and 19 years old, and a teen girl between 14 and 17 years old. 

The case comes a little more than two weeks after Toronto police boosted their presence on city transit in the wake of recent violence. 

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 13, 2023.
