-- TORONTO -- An elderly man who cried out for help as he was being mugged on a Toronto subway train received no assistance from other commuters, police said Monday.But hey... it's not a total loss... apparently the intrepid locals were able to supply a crackerjack description to the constabulary...
It was not immediately clear how many people were on the train or why they ignored the plight of the 79-year-old victim.
"The suspects are believed to be in their 20s."Uh huh... they really call this place Toronto the Good? I sure don't get it.
It’s an act that could save lives, but Torontonians are the least likely in the province to register to become an organ donor, according to a recent report.**********
UPDATE: Shame on them all
“They just grabbed me and took my wallet out from my pocket,” Mr. Hizel told City-TV Monday. “I screamed to the passengers but they ignored it. The train was almost half full.”**********
UPDATE2: Note to Globe & Mail...
...you need a new reporter... looks like there was a descripton of the suspects after all...
The victim, who Const. Drummond described as "spry," attempted to activate the Passenger Assistance Alarm, but could not reach it. The two men, both described only as black men in their 20s wearing all-black clothing, grabbed the man and took his wallet.And yes, Dawg... if it's relevant when poor black youths are gunned down by the "systemically racist" Toronto Police... it's relevant when they mug an octogenarian.
