Denis W. Veteran Posted June 8, 2005 Veteran Share Posted June 8, 2005 Heard about this in the breaking news on the radio station this morning. A 70-year-old woman walking home with her daughter early this morning was robbed of $100 by a thief who pepper-sprayed her in the face.The woman and her daughter, 45, had arrived at the downtown bus terminal at Bay and Dundas Sts. at about 6:15 a.m., police said. They walked towards Bathurst and Queen Sts. and as they turned down Denison Ave. two men who had been following them approached. They knocked the women to the ground and the older woman was pepper-sprayed and her purse taken, police said. The area was busy with people going to work and the women's screams attracted passersby, Toronto Police Sgt. Viv Meik said. Meik said one man chased the men through the laneways, but lost them. Meanwhile, others stopped to help the victims. Meik said the older woman was traumatized and her eyes were burning, but was otherwise unhurt. Ambulance attendants rinsed her eyes at the scene. One suspect is described as white, about 6-feet-tall, wearing an all black 1980s-style suit with a red bandana. The other was black, about 5-foot-10, 160 pounds with black denim pants, a black cloth sweater with hood. Source - thestar.com Now why would you go and pepper spray a poor old woman and rob her? Can't understand people like these. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Objexxx Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I think pepper spraying the elderly woman was a bit overkill. I mean... she's 70 years old! What could she possibly do to to stop them? That's sad.. :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
