The stabbing onboard a TTC vehicle comes one day after a teen boy was killed in what police describe as an unprovoked attack at Keele subway station.
Investigators say the teen was on the lower level of the station sitting on a bench when a man approached and stabbed him.
The incident comes almost two weeks after police ended extra patrols on the transit system after they were introduced in late January to help curb violence on the TTC.
