Toronto Police have arrested a man who was sought for assaulting an 85-year-old woman at Kipling subway station more than a week ago.
Police say the elderly woman was rushed to a local hospital following what they say is a random attack that occurred around 11:15 a.m. on July 7.
The victim was revived at the scene and taken to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries, paramedics say.
Kelon Peters, 35, of Toronto, has been charged with assault cause bodily harm, fraud in relation to fares and breach probation.
He is before the courts.
Since then more officers and TTC special constables have been deployed to patrol the sprawling station, in which a young woman was set afire and has since died second and third degree burns to her body.
A memorial service was held for Nyima Dolma, 28, at the Tibetan Cultural Centre, on Titan Road, that was attended by members of the community.
The support worker was on her way to her job when she was set on fire on a TTC bus near the Kipling station on June 17 and rushed to hospital with second and third-degree burns. She succumbed to her injuries on July 5.
A cremation service was held at Mississauga’s St. John’s Dixie Crematorium.
Almost $40,000 has been donated in a Go Fund Me campaign to help the mourning family pay for Dolma’s burial and other related expenses.
Tenzin Norbu, 33, of Toronto, has been charged with murder.
