TTC drivers were assaulted more than 50 times over the first four months of 2023.
New documents obtained by CP24 through a freedom of information request provide a detailed accounting of all of the reported incidents of criminality on TTC buses from January through the end of April.
Spitting appears to be the most common attack, mentioned in at least 17 of the incidents outlined in the documents. In another incident on Jan. 27, a driver was parked at Eglinton West Station when a suspect threatened to “get someone” to sexually assault them without provocation. That suspect also threatened to kill the operator, the documents show.
In one such incident detailed in the documents, an operator was returning from the employee washroom near the bus bay at St. Clair Station when a suspect attacked them with a screwdriver, causing them to sustain a cut to their left leg that had to be treated in hospital.
