He said it was too soon to know exactly who was fighting who or what the dispute was over, but one youth had his ear partially severed and two other boys suffered head wounds.

UPDATE: David Miller's "Better Way"
A gang of 10 teenagers violently robbed scores of subway commuters yesterday afternoon during the peak of commuter rush hour.

The youths, all aged about 15, robbed numerous people — sometimes punching victims in the face — between 4 and 6 p.m. in the stairwells and platforms at stations along the Bloor St. and Yonge St. lines.

"Mayor Miller has laid the table, they just have to sit down and feast."
