Peel Regional Police say a 20-year-old Brampton man has been charged following an early-morning incident near a Brampton transit stop that left a victim fearing for their safety.

Police allege the incident occurred shortly after 1 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 27, near Chinguacousy Road and Drinkwater Road. Investigators say the victim had just exited a transit bus when they were followed by an unknown individual, who then approached and claimed to be in possession of a firearm.

The victim contacted police, who located a suspect nearby a short time later. Officers allege the suspect produced an imitation firearm during the interaction and discarded it into a snowbank before being taken into custody.

Police say the accused was also carrying a backpack containing rope, tape, gloves, and two knives at the time of arrest. Jagdeep Singh, 20, of Brampton, has been charged with possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence.

Singh was held in custody pending a bail hearing. Police are asking anyone with information related to the incident to contact the 22 Division Criminal Investigation Bureau or Peel Crime Stoppers.
