A man was stabbed three times apparently after saying hello to a fellow passenger on a TTC bus yesterday.Okay, a fairly typical Toronto tale so far, but unlike a lot of crime reports... we get an amazingly detailed description of the perpetrator... to a point.
Police describe the suspect as 18-20 years old, 6-foot-2, with a slim build and short, dark, braided hair.Hang on a second... if the purpose of providing a description of the assailant is to help the public provide information on this guy's identity to the police... aren't they leaving something out?
He was wearing silver loop earrings with diamonds, a black tuque and coat that said "State Property" on the left side, police said. He was also carrying a black mesh bag on his back.
