A problematic bus shelter that was a magnet for drug deals and violent crime has been demolished.
The heated bus shelter at Portage Place Mall was taken down Monday evening.
In January, a 17-year-old international student was the target of a random attack.
Surveillance video released by police at the time shows the attacker waiting until all others leave the bus shelter before lunging at the teen and beating him until he couldn’t move.
