COBOURG, Ont. - Police in a community about 115 kilometres east of Toronto say a man was removed from a Via Rail train and charged after allegedly making threats.
Police in Cobourg, Ont., says they were advised by Via officials, as well as witnesses aboard the westbound train, that a man was overheard late Tuesday morning speaking on his cellphone and making threats.
Investigators say that no threats were made against people aboard the train, or the train equipment itself.
