A witness, Terence Yip, told CBC News that he was heading south on Bay Street when he heard yelling. He said one man was swinging at a man who was holding a guitar. Yip said a woman was yelling for police.

Yip said a bystander tried to break up the fight. The man with the machete had his back to the door at the Atrium on Bay Street. Security guards nearby tackled the man from behind.

Apparently not. imo.

Does fruit cake last forever? Scientists say combination of alcohol and dried fruit means most puddings last much longer than the 'use by date'

A 30-year-old man suffered injuries to his head and leg after being struck twice with a machete, said Sgt. Dale Corra. Police say the alleged attacker also had a hunting knife on him. Police now have both weapons.

Yip said the man being attacked was on his back defending himself with his legs, while the man with the machete was swinging the knife at the man's legs.

"I've never seen anyone openly attack someone like that," said Yip. "It was extremely aggressive to the point where it was obvious that it was an attack."

Yip said a bystander tried to break up the fight, intervening long enough to allow the victim to run inside a nearby building.

Terence Yip, who witnessed the attack, told CBC that the attack was ‘extremely aggressive.’ (CBC)
Yip also tweeted that the attacker, a black man, yelled “F–k white people” before allegedly attacking the victim, who is white. He said the alleged attacker’s machete was “probably the length of my arm. It was pretty big, a substantial weapon.”

Christmas-time or crisis-time?!

When they arrived at the scene, they found a male with a slash wound across his face and a stab wound in his chest.

The victim told police that there were four suspects armed with guns, but provided very little description

I wonder if this would be making headlines if there hadn't been the other two stabbings. It's not like they're all that uncommon but how often do we hear about them?

Sword fights, however, are always timely.
