Investigators with the York Regional Police #4 District Criminal Investigations Bureau have charged a 39-year-old man following an assault on a bus driver in the City of Vaughan.
On Wednesday, June 8, 2016, shortly after 8 a.m., a man boarded a Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) bus at the intersection of Dufferin Street and Dufferin Hill Drive, which is route #105. The bus driver recognized the man because approximately one month ago, he believes the same man was verbally abusive to him and stole a transfer slip when exiting the bus. When the driver recognized the man boarding the bus on June 8, he asked him to leave. The man refused and walked to the back of the bus. The driver would not proceed until the man exited the bus. The man became angry, walked to the front of the bus and assaulted the driver by throwing a cup of coffee on him from a silver thermal travel mug. The driver was not injured.
Officers conducted a thorough investigation and were able to determine the identity of the accused.
On Tuesday, August 2, 2016, at approximately 1:30 a.m., the accused was arrested at #2 District in the Town of Richmond and has been charged. Investigators would like to thank the media and the public for their assistance.
