In A Random Attack, A Woman Is Lit On Fire On A Toronto bus; Man Apprehended, Police Say

Dundas, Kipling Centre.

A woman lays in the hospital with critical injuries, she was set ablaze on a Toronto bus in what police say was a "random" attack. 

The woman in her 20's was attacked by a 35-year-old man. The woman remains in hospital with life-altering injuries, most of which are second and third-degree burns, media relations officer Toronto police Const. Alex Li told reporters outside Kipling station, where the incident took place.

The suspect has been arrested with charges pending, police say.

Toronto police were called to the Kipling Avenue and Dundas Street West area around 12:30 p.m. for reports of a woman being assaulted. Police say a man poured a liquid substance on the woman and ignited it, causing a fire.

The woman was rushed to Sunnybrook Hospital. There's no word on her current condition.

It's unknown what motivated the attack, but Li says there was some sort of interaction between the man and woman before it happened. Police continue to investigate

Friday's incident comes on the heels of at least two other notable attacks at Toronto subway stations. In April, international student Kartik Vasudev was killed in a shooting outside Sherbourne subway station. That same month, a 39-year-old narrowly escaped being hit by a train after she was pushed onto the tracks from a subway platform at Bloor-Yonge subway station.

Then, late last month, a man was robbed and beaten outside Dundas subway station. Christian Garcia told CBC News he wanted to see more security and staff at TTC stops.

The kidnappers have demanded N100m ransom for the release of the nine victims who were taken away. The principal of the secondary section of the school, Boje Olanireti, has confirmed the demand for ransom by the kidnappers who abducted victims. Throwing more light on how the incident occurred, Olanireti explained that the kidnapping occurred about a five-minute drive from the school. She said, “Immediately the school closed at 3pm, and by the time we gathered all the children, it was already 3:30pm. It was that time that they moved.

U.S. Lifts COVID-19 Test Requirement For International Travel. The Biden administration is lifting its requirement that international air travelers to the U.S. take a COVID-19 test within a day before boarding their flights.
