Four 13-year-old boys have been arrested after two TTC employees were assaulted during what was described as a swarming incident on a bus Monday afternoon in the Kennedy Rd. and Merrian Rd. area.
Toronto Police say around 3:35 p.m. officers responded to an assault call and it was alleged there was an altercation between a group of boys and the two TTC workers on the bus before the suspects fled.
An investigation and review of TTC video surveillance led to four teenaged male suspects identified and arrested.
Two 13-year-old boys have been charged with assault and another two 13-year-old boys have been charged with two counts of assault each.
They will appear in court on March 21.
The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-4100, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), or at
