Shortly before 6:30 p.m., on Sunday, a TTC Operator was shot with a BB gun while standing outside the intersection of Markham intersection and Progress Avenue in Scarborough.
According to the police, the suspects are identified as white men, possibly adolescents.
The operator did not sustain any bodily injuries, and police are looking into the occurrence.
Mayor John Tory condemned “this act of violence on an innocent transit worker” in a string of tweets.
Tory emphasised how important it is that transit employees always feel safe given their responsibility for running the city.
“I believe anyone threatening or inflicting violence on transit workers should face the most serious of consequences for their actions from our justice system,” Tory added.
A string of violent episodes, including stabbings, assaults, and harassment, have occurred in recent months, with the BB gun incident being the most recent.
