A man assaulted a passenger with a brick on a Toronto transit bus during the morning rush Thursday, police say.
Toronto police said emergency crews were called to the area of Dufferin Street and Eglinton Avenue West at 9 a.m.
Officers said the man was involved in a dispute with other passengers, and exited the bus and “armed himself with bricks.”
“The man returned to the bus and threw the bricks at two passengers,” police said in a news release.
Officers said one passenger was struck in the head and sustained non-life threatening injuries.
According to police, the suspect fled the scene in an unknown direction.
Police are now searching for a man around five-feet-nine-inches tall, with a medium build and short, black hair. He was seen wearing a beige sweater with a small yellow logo on the front, and a larger logo on the back with the words ‘Adventure Awaits.”
The man was also wearing khaki pants, beige and pink Nike shoes and glasses, officers said.
