In Toronto, a shocking incident unfolded on a moving subway train when a passenger was repeatedly stabbed, causing panic among other commuters. The violent attack took place during the afternoon on a southbound Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) train heading toward Eglinton Station.
A witness captured the horrifying scene on cellphone video, which quickly circulated on social media. The footage shows a man wearing a white T-shirt and blue shorts engaging in a physical altercation with another individual dressed in dark clothing in the middle of the train car. The presence of a knife becomes apparent as it flashes in the hand of the assailant.
The Altercation
During the altercation, the suspect in dark clothing stabs the man in shorts, resulting in a visible bloodstain on the back of his T-shirt. The injured victim desperately attempts to escape his attacker, shouting for help while being chased through the train car.
Startled commuters witnessed the horrifying scene, with one passenger exclaiming in panic that the assailant is stabbing the victim and another expressing their inability to exit the train. Upon reaching the station, the suspect managed to flee the scene before the authorities arrived.
As of Friday morning, the suspect remains at large. The victim, described as a man in his 30s, was transported to a trauma center with life-threatening injuries. However, his condition has since been upgraded to stable.
During a press conference, Duty Inspector Michelle Olszevski of the Toronto Police Service stated that the stabbing was not a random act but an isolated incident. It followed a verbal disagreement between the two men, though the extent of their familiarity is unclear. The police, including Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw, are actively searching for the stabbing suspect.
