Vanessa Kurpiewska, 31, of Toronto, was pronounced dead at a hospital and a 37\u002Dyear\u002Dold woman was treated and released from hospital
Marchesan, a CityNews employee, was on his way to work on the eastbound train at the time of the 2 p.m. incident.
“The accused and victims were not known to each other,” Toronto police Laura Brabant said in a news release. Stranger attacks, although fairly rare, cause disproportionate anxiety, especially when they happen in public, supposedly safe places where many have no alternative to being there. Many children take city transit to school. Commuters pack buses and trains, often in oblivion with earphones in and head down. Public transit is a standard way home after a night out.
“Our transit system should always be a safe place for everyone at all times. We will simply have to sit down again with the TTC and police officials to see what more we can do.” In June, a man was shot dead outside the Sheppard-Yonge station; a woman was lit on fire aboard a TTC bus at the Kipling station, and later died of her injuries. That was also described as a random attack.Article content
