The man accused of fatally shoving an 89-year-old woman in downtown Toronto refused to appear in court Wednesday.
Cunneen, who has no fixed address, was arrested Friday after the incident near Yonge and King streets around 11:40 a.m.
On Wednesday, when Cunneen refused to appear, someone in the court noted he was able to hear the proceedings over the phone. Police have called the attack unprovoked, and said the woman had serious face and head injuries before dying. Security video from inside a nearby restaurant shows the woman fall forcefully to the ground, before a suspect is seen running.
