TORONTO – Toronto police have arrested a man who allegedly threatened to kill a city bus driver.
Police say it’s alleged that a 23-year-old man boarded a Toronto Transit Commission bus in the city’s west end around 7:15 p.m. Monday night without paying a fare.
They say the driver told him how much he had to pay and another customer allegedly overheard the conversation and paid the fare for the man.

Police say the man then allegedly threatened the driver by saying he would stab him and cut him up.
Nawras Zora, of Toronto, has been charged with one count of threatening death.
The arrest comes a day after a TTC fare collector was shot in a separate incident following an attempted robbery at Dupont Station.
He is expected to make a full recovery from his injuries.
Police are asking witnesses in that case to come forward.
