A 22-year-old man has been arrested after two separate stabbings on the TTC over the weekend.
In one incident, a TTC driver was stabbed in the face with a toothbrush around 3:45 a.m. on Islington Avenue south of Dixon Road near Winnipeg Road.
A male passenger and the driver got into an argument on a bus and the passenger punctured the driver’s cheek.
Toronto police say the driver had minor injuries and was taken to a hospital.
