Toronto’s ombudsman says she is deeply concerned and disappointed with the TTC and is calling for changes to its fare inspection system following a widely-seen altercation that was caught on video.
Last week, an independent investigator determined three TTC officers
used excessive force against a man on a 501 Queen streetcar in February.
It was found that the transit officers’ actions were “impacted by their perception” of the passenger’s mental health and their perception was also “discriminatory on the basis of disability.”
