TTC employee charged after allegedly stabbing customer during TMU station assault

A TTC employee is facing five charges following a stabbing incident at TMU Station that sent two people to the hospital with serious injuries.

Police and first responders were called to the subway station, formerly known as Dundas Station, just after 1 p.m. on November 26, following reports someone had been stabbed.

When police arrived, they located two people with injuries, who were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. At the time, a male suspect – who was one of the two people injured -was taken into custody.

Following an investigation, police say a man and a female TTC employee became involved in a verbal altercation near the fare wickets inside the station.

“The TTC employee then stabbed the customer with a knife,” police said in a release on Saturday. “The parties separated, and the customer then returned and stabbed the TTC employee with a knife.”

Gregory Bernard, 42, of Toronto, was arrested and charged on the day of the incident with three counts of assault, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, assault with a weapon and aggravated assault.

On December 5, police charged the TTC employee, 40-year-old Rushell Tucker, with assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, carrying a concealed weapon, aggravated assault, and obstructing police. She is scheduled to appear in court to answer the charges in the new year.
