Toronto police say they’ve arrested a man accused of randomly stabbing a bus rider, and threatening another person with a sharp object in a separate incident at a subway station.
Police say the first incident took place on Friday, April 7, at around 10:15 p.m. at Eglinton Subway Station.
The victim was at the station when he was approached by the suspect, who threatened him with a sharp object.
The suspect then fled the scene, jumping onto a subway train.
A few days later on April 11, police were called to the Black Creek Drive and Eglinton Avenue area for reports of a stabbing.
Police say the suspect and victim were on the same TTC bus travelling westbound on Eglinton Avenue West.
The suspect reportedly approached the victim unprovoked and stabbed him before jumping off the bus and fleeing on Black Creek drive.
Police believe the same man was responsible for a third incident when a person was assaulted by someone known to the morning of April 19 in the Weston Road and Lawrence Avenue West area
