Cops are hunting for a man described as armed and dangerous who allegedly threatened a TTC operator and cut his radio cord.

Toronto Police say a man was riding a TTC bus in the Markham Rd. and Lawrence Ave. E. area on Oct. 21 when he “became irate and started to cause a disturbance.”

When the TTC operator tried to call dispatch for help, the man whipped out a knife and cut the radio cord, police said Monday.

“He then threatened the operator with the knife” and fled the bus before cops arrived, according to police.

He’s described as 25-30 years old and 5-foot-6 with a medium build. He wore a grey hoodie, black vest, dark-grey cargo pants, and a black toque with red-and-white stripes.

“If located, do not approach. Call 911 immediately,” police warned.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-4300 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477.
