Toronto police are searching for an individual wanted in connection with two suspected hate-motivated threatening incidents targeting youth passengers on TTC buses in North York.<\/p>\n
Police say the first incident occurred on Sept. 15 in the Bathurst Street and Sheppard Avenue West area. Investigators report that three youth victims were riding a TTC bus when the suspect engaged them in conversation and allegedly made harassing comments.<\/p>\n
The suspect was described at the time as a woman with blond hair, wearing a beanie hat.<\/p>\n
A second report was filed on Oct. 31, also in the Bathurst and Sheppard area. According to police, a youth victim was riding a TTC bus when the suspect boarded, began to engage the victim, and made harassing comments before exiting at Bathurst Street and Laurelcrest Avenue.<\/p>\n
In this case, the suspect was described as a woman with black hair, wearing a black jacket, red sweater, and a beanie hat.<\/p>\n
Investigators have determined that the suspect is the same person in both occurrences. Police have since released an image of the woman and are treating the investigation as a suspected hate-motivated offence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Toronto police are searching for an individual wanted in connection with two suspected hate-motivated threatening incidents targeting youth…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":372159,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[2147,50],"class_list":{"0":"post-372158","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-canada","9":"tag-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115532598168365629","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=372158"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372158\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/372159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=372158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=372158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=372158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
