"This disturbing incident has all the hallmarks of a random attack that came completely without warning, and we’re increasingly worried about the public’s safety," Sgt. Steve Addison said in a news release.
Police are hoping witnesses of the incident, which happened at about 6:20 a.m. at the Harbour Centre Tim Hortons on West Hastings Street, will help identify the suspect.

The victim, a newcomer to Canada, was waiting in line when the suspect approached from behind and repeatedly stabbed him in the back and shoulder before running out of the store.

an incident that re-ignited conversation about public safety in the downtown core in light of data that shows, on average, more than four people a day are victimized in unprovoked stranger assaults.
“We recognize these incidents cause significant anxiety and trepidation in the community,” adds Sergeant Addison. “However, it’s important that we talk about them so we can solve these crimes and people can make informed decisions about their personal safety.”

If this wasn't equally as tragic, as it is was predictable it would almost be laugh worthy at the denial some residents continue to have about the true state of things. To say 4 random attacks a day is terrifying would be an understatement.
Its legitimately difficult for me to articulate how disappointing it is as an immigrant who came here and got to live out his dreams, to see what we are collectively allowing this place to return to.
The chaos will only continue to escalate, and that even hurts to type out on a internet forum.
