Faithful locally free circle actions on a torus must be free?

Do we have an example of a smooth action $S^1 \curvearrowright T^n$ which is faithful, locally free but not free?

I know such an action must induce an injection $\rho:\pi_1(S^1)\to\pi_1(T^n)$. Another related question is: Is the image of $\rho$ saturated?

Thanks in advance!
