Samurai-style sword threatened a Grand River Transit (GRT) bus driver’s
life on Saturday afternoon (July 12), police say.
A 19-year-old Cambridge man is charged with uttering threats to cause death and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
According to police, the man got on a bus at the Ainslie Street terminal
at about 3:20 p.m. and threatened to stab the driver, as he held a
sword.
“He was initially asked to leave the bus because he was using obscene
language,” Olaf Heinzel, Waterloo Regional Police public affairs
co-ordinator, said of the suspect, noting the threats followed.
GRT security and police were then called.
The man was arrested without incident, at the bus terminal. No injuries were reported
