... was it assault though? If the TEO isn't allowed to arrest or touch someone, and his father was being assaulted by the TEO, isn't one allowed to use force against the assailant?
Sure, if the person stands there and waits for the police. It doesn't give them the power to physically restrain someone.Anyone is allowed to make an arrest, including TEOs.

The law allows you to use as much force as is necessary for the purpose of making a citizen's arrest, as long as you are acting on reasonable grounds. However, any force you use must be tailored to the circumstances, and you are criminally responsible for any excess force you use. In addition to the potential for a criminal prosecution, you may also face a civil lawsuit in relation to your conduct and any injury you cause.
I don't believe you are allowed to once pound someone's face with a fist while making a citizen's arrest - let alone multiple times.You are discouraged from using force to detain someone while making an arrest, you are to ask them nicely first, but are permitted to use it.

I think my fear of Yonge, north of Finch is well founded. What happened at Finch Station today?!

The TTC can't seem to catch a break it seems...
(Being a Facebook status, I don't know if you will be able to see it)
Reading the comments, it appears to have been a stabbing.
