Police are looking for three or four suspects after a TTC bus driver was attacked by individuals wielding pepper spray. Paramedics helped the transit employee after the painful spray got in his eyes in the attack, which occurred just before 1am Monday on Dufferin St. north of Eglinton Ave.

A 16-year-old boy and 17-year-old girl were arrested, then released until their court date. Police believe there are three or four more individuals involved but there’s no word on a description of the suspects.
