Man stabbed downtown

October 29, 2009

A 24-year-old man was stabbed following a confrontation on a London Transit Commission bus.

The victim was involved in an altercation with four other people while riding the bus last Monday and was followed by the group after exiting near Dundas and Richmond Streets. The victim was stabbed at the intersection at approximately 7:15 p.m.

“It is unusual to have something happen where there are lots of people and during the daylight,” said Amy Phillipo, media relations officer for London Police Services.

According to Phillipo, London police originally sought the arrest of four suspects, but arrested only one 17-year-old male on Tuesday night. Upon further investigation, police determined the man arrested was the only person responsible for the stabbing. He is charged with aggravated assault, two counts of possession of a dangerous weapon, uttering threats and assault with a weapon.
