Toronto has been gripped in recent weeks by a string of seemingly random attacks on the streets and on transit vehicles.

The victim was walking on Danforth Avenue, a popular street known for its restaurants and shops that also forms the heart of Toronto’s Greek neighbourhood, when he was assaulted and fell to the ground, said a police news release that does not identify Finlay by name.

“Please help identify this man,” actress Kristin Booth tweeted last weekend after police released a security camera still of the alleged culprit. “He attacked and assaulted my cousin who was merely walking to the grocery store.” He was treated at Toronto’s Michael Garron hospital for a couple of days before being sent home, said Wijchers, whose account could not be confirmed by the National Post.

In the most shocking incident, a group of eight teenage girls have been charged with second-degree murder after allegedly swarming a homeless man, Ken Lee, 59, and stabbing him to death near Union Station.And in an incident that seemed to mirror the attack on Finlay, an elderly woman was shoved to a busy downtown sidewalk four days before the journalist was assaulted, dying from her injuries. That alleged assailant was arrested soon after.

He had actually been a poet in his younger years, publishing a couple of books of his work, said Koller. “He understood the cadence and rhythm of English.”
