Police chief says 80 officers will be immediately dispatched to subways and stations as attacks bring city to ‘crisis point’
Toronto police has announced plans to deploy more officers on the city’s public transport system as a transit workers’ union warned that a string of random attacks on passengers had brought Canada’s largest city to “crisis point”.
The union that represents 35,000 transit workers in Canada warned that the situation had reached a “crisis level” in Toronto, amid a spike in assaults in other urban centres. The Toronto mayor, John Tory, said the city was facing a broader mental health crisis and an emergency federal summit is needed, although it is unknown what role mental illness has played in the spate of attacks.
