Woman set on fire on TTC bus in ‘random attack’; suspect arrested

One person is in custody after a woman was set on fire while on a TTC bus Friday afternoon in what police are calling a “random attack.”

Police say they were originally called to Kipling Station, near Kipling Avenue and Dundas Street, around 12:30 p.m. after receiving a report of a man assaulting a woman nearby.

“The man was then alleged to have poured some type of liquid substance or an accelerant on this woman and then ignited that substance, causing a fire and causing the female victim to burn,” Toronto police Const. Alex Li said.

Nothing but rumours about the perp and motive or lack of it so far.
