Transit police say a man has been arrested and charged with assault and uttering threats following an assault at a Vancouver SkyTrain station.

They say the incident began when a woman accidentally bumped into a man as they were getting off a bus at the Broadway-City Hall SkyTrain station on Aug. 20.

Police say the 50-year-old man then allegedly tripped the woman, made racist comments towards her, and challenged people to fight when they tried to intervene.

They say the man also charged and grabbed a passerby, and pushed him into a glass wall before leaving the station.
