Toronto Police have made an arrest in the Canada Day stabbing death of a man on Danforth Ave.
Just after 3:30 a.m. Sunday, two passengers on the eastbound 300B blue line bus near Greenwood and Danforth Aves. began arguing — an altercation which turned physical once the men exited the bus.
That fight ended when one produced a knife and repeated stabbed the other.
The victim, identified by police as Matthew Lidster, 29, was rushed to hospital in critical condition where he later died.
On Tuesday, 19-year-old Paul Napolitano turned himself into police and was charged with second-degree murder.
