'There were two on-duty TTC operators who were on their way to a relief point to pick up their vehicle and go about their shift, and they were attacked by, as police have described, a group of 10 to 15 people.'
Green said that the victims were treated on scene by paramedics but did not require hospitalization.
He said that the operator of the bus was not physically harmed but was “emotionally impacted” by the incident. “They are shaken up. It understandable. They are shaken up, as is the operator of the bus,” he said, noting that the TTC will be providing employees with various supports.Mayor John Tory commented on Monday’s reported incident, urging that anyone with information reach out to police while also expressing great concern “about the increasing number of criminal acts involving young people.”
“I strongly believe this is something all governments have to work together to urgently address with social and mental health experts,” Tory said in a tweet Monday night. Toronto Police are investigating a report that uniformed TTC employees on a bus were attacked by a group of 10-15 young people.
