The woman has been taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.Images from the scene show multiple police SUVs with lights flashing surrounding a streetcar on Spadina.
Our thoughts are with the victim of this incident.We will, as always, support police as they investigate this awful attack.We don't have any other details at this time. https://t.co/Vr0O5cAa18The stabbing comes a day after two transit workers were hurt in what police have called a "swarming" assault by 10 to 15 youth on a bus in Scarborough, three days after a TTC operator was shot with a BB gun, and after a string of other recent, violent incidents against passengers.
Sat. Jan 21st a TTC Op was shot. Mon.Jan 23rd Two TTC Ops were swarmed by 10-15 boys. Tues. Jan 24th a woman was stabbed in the face and head on a TTC Streetcar. This morning 2 TTC workers were chased by someone with a syringe at Dundas Subway Station.
And what is JohnTory & TTC doing to protect patrons & keep everyone safe? Patrons are being murdered & life-changing assaults are happening regularly 😢💔 It's not only attacks on TTC Employees
Time to remove easy access to knives in convenience stores, they are not Ceremonial but deadly and easily accessible to all: remove deadlyKnives now JustinTrudeau theJagmeetSingh fordnation brianlilley its a big problem onpoli
Good thing the liberals are make laws to protect Canadians. NOT!!! Good thing the victim didn't have anything to protect herself or use anything as she would have been arrested and charged.
This is just disgraceful & this was in my hood.. I am now scared to ride the streetcar & I am a senior & was a frequent user.. Something needs to be done to stop this violence..
Meanwhile, there were protesters against a modest rise to the police budget being discussed by city council. As I write this, I am actively guarding my car against theft from my driveway
RIP....keep voting liberal GTA what a hell hole
If TTC doesn’t step up security and enforcement resources then this is indisputable proof that TTC aid not serious about security.
Sadly, this is happening all to regularly!?
What the FK social services ? What the FK psychiatric and addictions care? What th FK police and aggressive zombies walking around the streets here, public disturbance and amount of psychos in this shithole town not even a concern.
What the FK, Toronto?
Bring back asylums.
Welcome to Trudeau’s new Canada
Toronto the 💩🎪
As long as we allow 1. White Supremacy 2. Patriarchy 3. Systemic Racism We will continue having these attacks The individual is not responsible for this attack The society is culpable! The victim has been victimized by this capitalistic society Eradicate capitalism now!
No one helped her…….. what’s Toronto’s problem?
She'll be out in no time because tough on crime is the liberal way.
Death Penalty for any knife or gun crime! This wont stop with a slap on the wrist, it’s happening several times a week, and will only get worse.
This city has gone to shit. 💩
This is what Toronto votes for. Violent criminals and nutbars roaming the streets instead of being locked up.
Grew up in Toronto,lived in Cda 67 years.Jaw dropping how life has degraded over yrs.I recall when TTC was safe;car jackings,home invasions,street gang murders,guns at school - all unheard of. Rents&real estate were affordable,doctors available.Politicians destroying Canada.Waste
Was she in her 20’s or 40’s? 🤔
Trudeau's Canada is beginning to read like America. Nowhere is safe. Toronto never lije this MayorTory
Too many ppl walking the streets that should be locked up either in jail or mental institution, Thy nd to stop being so soft on sentencing &put these ppl away for years not months,if the judges of this country won't protect is thn we will do it ourselves mabey start making a list
Officers arrested the suspect, a woman in her 40s, on scene, said Kranenburg, adding the accused will be charged for aggravated assault.
Don't worry, John Tory will send a tweet condemning the incident and will give some extra budget to the police.
Judges, lawyers and cops are proof that there is no rule of law in Canada. They do things that would put normal people in jail or have consequences. Local media has ignored this problem ruthlessly and helped these bad actors stay hidden. For example:
Don’t worry suspect will be arrested and released with some very very harsh restrictions!
As someone who grew up in Toronto this is embarrassing that this is happening all the time. The TTC was safe when I lived there.
Is this becoming a new pass time for wing nuts?
Where were the social workers?
Oh no! Poor woman. Time to have DWAs on streetcars and busses. AND lock up the perps. Enough about mental illness on the street. We need IMMEDIATE action, JohnTory
Who's the suspect
Make the mayor and councillors commute daily on TTC, it might resolve some issues.
It's daily now. Society change is needed.
NightTimePod
Sorry what ?
Have we tried hiring a million more police officers to just stand there. Waiting for our untreated mentally ill to pop off?
Is this the safe way to travel now?
