The article includes an image of a man and reports on his criminal history and recent arrest in Toronto for the stabbing of a 16-year-old at a subway station. The man, Jordan O’Brien-Tobin, was found to have an outstanding warrant in Newfoundland and several prior convictions in both Newfoundland and Ontario. His criminal history includes mostly non-violent offenses such as stealing and breaching conditions, but also includes assault and uttering death threats. The attack on the teen was said to be unprovoked, and occurred amid a series of high-profile cases of violence on Toronto public transit. Ontario Premier Doug Ford called for increased mental health support, police presence, and federal bail reform to address the issue.
