A woman was rushed to hospital last night after being brutally stabbed in a random attack in Toronto.I'm just waiting for Mayor Miller to make the obligatory call for more
At around 8:30 p.m., Nicole McDonald, 26, was stabbed several times in the arm and abdomen in what Toronto Police describe as a random attack by a man while waiting at a bus stop near the busy intersection of Broadview St. and Danforth Ave.
Samad Dabiri, 47, of Toronto, was arrested near the scene and faces several charges in relation to the attack, including attempted murder.So... unless your first "assault with a deadly weapon" in Toronto is now deductible... can someone tell me why Samad Scissorhands wasn't slumped in a cool, dark cell somewhere in Crazyland... so pilled-up, the staff could use him for a doorstop?
Dabiri - a landed immigrant from Iran who has been in Canada for 11 years - was previously convicted of a similar random attack with a knife at Dufferin Mall in 2003.
Or, better yet... on a plane back to Iran?

FROM THE COMMENTS:
"Samid's inability to control his temper goes back much further: He had also been accused of uttering a death threat and carrying a weapon, a knife and a steel pipe, in 1999, but the charges were dropped."P.S. -- That's funny... the Toronto 'Red' Star somehow fails to mention the two other attempts to slice & dice his fellow Torontonians.

UPDATE: Cops weren't even notified
Det. Laing said Immigration Canada officials are following the case closely. Asked if Mr. Dabiri, a former Iranian police officer who came to Canada in 1996, should be deported, Det. Laing said: "I would drive him to the airport."**********

A 22-year-old man suffered a minor gunshot wound to the chest when he allegedly drove his rented car at a York Regional Police narcotics officer who was trying to arrest the motorist in Scarborough yesterday.*
The alleged incident is similar to how York Det.-Const. Robert Plunkett was killed during an arrest last year. The 22-year veteran was was killed while trying to arrest an accused car thief in Markham last Aug. 2.
