TTC collector shot during holdup at Dupont + Spadina

A TTC collector was shot at Dupont Station Sunday night.
TTC officials say the collector was rushed to hospital with non-life threatening injuries shortly after the 7:21 p.m. attempted robbery and shooting. Union officials said last night the collector was going into surgery following the attack and his injuries may have been more serious than initially reported.
Toronto Police Const. Tony Vella said officers from 53 and 14 Division initially responded to a hold-up alarm at the subway station on Dupont St. and Spadina Rd.
“It is unclear if anything was taken,” Vella told the Sun.
He said the hold-up squad is investigating the incident and going through security camera footage to identify a suspect.
TTC spokesman Brad Ross said he’s hearing reports the collector was shot in the neck.
“Right now our chief concern is with the condition of our employee,” he said.
Trains were bypassing the station Sunday night during the police investigation.
