Police say an "unruly passenger" was arrested for public intoxication in an incident on the GO Train to Barrie Tuesday.
Peter Leon, corporate communications coordinator with the Barrie Police Service, said Metrolinx security contacted them around 7:05 p.m. about a male "smoking and acting aggressively towards the conductor."
"As the train came to the end of its route and stopped at the Allandale Waterfront station, the male exited the train and was immediately observed by responding officers relieving himself on the platform," Leon wrote in a release.
