Bloor Subway Attack
- Thread starter Darts
- Start date
In the last 20 years I've taken the subway like twice. Whenever I take it, I'm always very aware of my surroundings. I stay the fuck away from the platform with my back near a wall if possible. I realize the chances of someone pushing you on the tracks or getting randomly attacked are like 1 in a million, but it does happen.
Anyway, all 5 people suffered minor injuries so crises avoided.

CP24 crime specialist Steve Ryan was just on TV and said Toronto Police have apprehended the suspect and was fined for not wearing a mask during the attack.
So I guess that's that.

Kudos to Toronto police. Glad to hear all the victims are ok. It's no fun getting hit by a hammer.
They need to start arming the TTC police with tasers, or maybe even handguns

Took the Yonge line for an appointment twice in the last month - there are very, very strange people roaming about - mentally disturbed people, physically sick coughing people without masks, people that panhandle, people that scream at strangers, homeless people sleeping in the trains - no sign of any TTC control on platforms or trains. You are on your own. Be aware and be careful.
At the beginning of the pandemic, around April and May, I was taking walks downtown because uptown is so boring. Anyway, Yonge and Dundas up to about Yonge King was filled with unhinged people. It almost got me to stop walking down there as I had to many close calls. I ended up not going down there anymore because I didn't want to keep spending the money on gas...lol, but it was kind of creepy at times.
Same here. I had two back to back appointments with my ophthalmologist about two months ago. I couldn't drive or bike there because the drops make my vision blurry so I took the subway.
The TTC constables can't do anything because of two incidents.
1) A black guy was apprehended for fare evasion. He claimed he was apprehended solely because he is black. Every liberal/NDP person in the city agreed with the black guy.
2) In another incident there was a physical takedown where two constables had to use reasonable force. The video of the takedown caused an out roar in the lefty community.
Likewise. I don't stand near the edge. There was a case years ago of someone who spent his last dollars on a lottery ticket and when it didn't win, he pushed someone off the platform. He got beaten to death in jail within 48 hours. I tried googling it, only to find that there have been several pushing incidents in Toronto.
Too bad. Spend all that money on a great transportation system, only to have it fucked up by the walking dead.
Do you really want to trust those idiots with guns simply because a couple times a year (if that) we have incidents like this despite well over a million rides per day?
Is it true that more people are killed by bees than by lunatics on the TTC so no big deal?
I was going to say, I don't recall that particular incident, but there are quite a few that nature. There's also quite a few about random attacks. A few years back some unhinged person stabbed someone in the eye and if I recall correctly, he lost his eye.
TTC cops are all idiots now?? Wow, what a bigoted, blanket statement.
Really shows where your mindset is at
My observations from commuting daily , There are a lot more fucking non mask wearing weirdos on TTC property . I attribute this to the lack of the usual loitering places like doughnut shops ,libraries and mall food courts that are currently closed.
I did see a first! I Walked past a guy on the platform early morning , he was squatting down taking a shit into a waiting plastic bag with newspaper ready in hand to wipe his ass.
I was impressed he was using a bag ... Very considerate of him not to just dump on the floor.

You seem to have an obsession with black guys. What's the matter, they make you feel inadequate?
