On July 7, TPS reported that there was a "random attack" at Kipling Station at 11:15 a.m.
Previously, a TPS spokesperson told Narcity that an 85-year-old woman was reportedly hit with a "nasty punch," leaving her unconscious and taken to the hospital for her injuries. Meanwhile, the suspect fled from the scene and police continued to investigate the incident.
