On June 3, 2022, at approximately 6:00 p.m., officers responded to Edmonton/Graham for the robbery of a Transit bus passenger.
Officers met with the victim, who reported that two unknown individuals threatened him while travelling on the bus and demanded his backpack. As the victim exited the bus, the suspects followed him, assaulting him on the ground and spraying him with what was believed to be bear spray. They grabbed his property and fled on foot.
Another passenger in the immediate vicinity was also contaminated with the spray. Still occupied with other passengers, the bus had to be evacuated due to spray contamination.
