According to police, the victim was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
The attack follows another incident early Wednesday morning when Toronto police responded to a call that two TTC employees with a syringe were being pursued at the Dundas subway station.
Just 24 hours earlier, a 20-year-old woman was stabbed to death on a TTC tram in the Spadina and Sussex Ave area. Police have since charged 43-year-old Leah Valdez with attempted murder and multiple gun offenses.
It’s already proven that TTC have little/no intention to increase security and maybe they’ve given up. It’s time for new management.

With the recent attacks and injuries on Toronto’s Transit, drivers are more concerned than ever for their safety on the TTC.
People will get to the point where they’ll start arming themselves when riding the TTC

We’ll see what tomorrow brings, but for now, stay safe Toronto.
