Three female youth are facing charges following an investigation into an assault aboard a Lakeshore East GO Train.
The incident occurred on Saturday, September 12, 2026, as passengers travelled eastbound from Toronto. Three victims reported being harassed by a group of five teenage girls who were allegedly drinking alcohol, vaping and behaving in a disorderly manner on the train.
