Police release video of Dupont Street TTC shooter

Police have released images of the man who shot a TTC ticket attendant at the Dupont subway station last night. The assailant is believed to be a repeat subway bandit. In this incident, having been refused money by the attendant, the bandit walked a few feet away, then turned and shot the attendant point blank. The attendant was injured in the arm and neck but will recover. The wanted man is said to be white, 35 to 40 with a stocky build.
Police say this was the third time in less than a year that the suspect hit Dupont station; the previous times, in June and October, he made off with a small quantity of cash. Sunday was the only instance that ended in gunfire.
“The suspect is actually leaving and he turns, several feet away from the collector’s booth… and, unprovoked, fires the gun in through the glass at the collector,” Toronto Police Staff Inspector Mike Earl said.
