Man Stabbed While Waiting At Bus Stop

It's happened again - another attack on a young male in the west end, again at a bus stop.

This time a man was stabbed in the lower back while waiting at a TTC stop on Widdicombe Hill and Kipling, not far from Eglinton Ave.

Police have yet to say how old the victim is or whether this latest incident could be gang related. The patient has been rushed to hospital for treatment but the wounds aren't considered life threatening. The suspect is described as a black male, 20-30 years of age wearing baggy clothes.

Bus stops seem to have become a favourite hunting ground for predators in the last two months. They're open, accessible, there are few places to hide and the victim is standing unsuspecting and a literal waiting target. But they also leave other innocent people vulnerable, since many of the attacks have taken place in broad daylight.

There have been several since the end of April.
