A Toronto man has been arrested after a woman was lit on fire on a TTC bus on Friday in what police now describe as an allegedly “hate-motivated” attempted murder. Tenzin Norbu, 33, is charged with attempted murder, assault with a weapon, common nuisance and mischief. In a press release issued Sunday evening, police reported a man on a TTC bus poured a flammable liquid on a woman on the same bus, before igniting it. The woman, who is in her 20s, was helped by TTC employees, bystanders, firefighters, police and TTC special constables, before she was rushed by ambulance to hospital. In the same month, a 21-year-old man was shot dead outside Sherbourne station in what police described as a random attack.
