Gabriel Magalhaes was sitting on a bench on the lower level of Keele subway station on Saturday when he was approached by a man and stabbed, police say
According to a woman who said she was at the scene Saturday, Mr. Magalhaes was with a friend at the time of the attack.
Deputy mayor Jennifer McKelvie called Mr. Magalhaes’s death a “tragedy” and extended condolences to his family and friends. “Like everyone, we are concerned and saddened by this attack and we take incidents like these extremely seriously,” spokeswoman Milly Bernal said in a statement. “The safety of our customers and employees is our top priority, and we will continue to work with Toronto Police Service as they investigate.”
In late January, in response to several violent incidents on the public transit system, Toronto police began assigning more than 80 extra officers to patrol TTC stations and vehicles. Those overtime deployments, however, ended on March 13.
