The man spent about 10 minutes leisurely lying between the two rails at Downsview Park station while casually smoking a cigarette.

According to Canoe.com, Geoff Knowles - who spotted the man - said: ''He was belligerent and swearing at people (who urged him to leave the tracks and step on to the platform.

''I phoned 416-808-2222 (TPS non-emergency line) and was asked by the dispatcher to give a major intersection to Downsview Park station.

''She asked me some ridiculous questions -- do I know this man's name? Do I know if he's under the influence?''

TPS spokeswoman Allison Sparkes said officers picked up the man at the station and brought him to hospital.
