Another teenager has died as a result of a violent attack while taking transit in Canada.
This time a 17-year-old victim in Surrey, British Columbia died after suffering serious wounds on Tuesday night.
According to Surrey RCMP, the stabbing took place on a bus passing close to King George SkyTrain station.
Authorities believe the attack was an “isolated incident” and the victim appeared to have been targeted.
The teen was attacked just before 9:30 p.m. following an altercation with the suspect.
The RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has taken over the file.
No suspects have been arrested to date.
The incident comes after a series of attacks and stabbings on transit in British Columbia. On April 1, a passenger had his throat slashed in a random violent attack.
Police arrested suspect Abdul Aziz Kawam as a result of the attack.
Initially charged with attempted murder, the attack is now being investigated as a terror attack inspired by ISIS.
Last month, 16-year-old Gabriel Magalhaes lost his life after being randomly stabbed in an unprovoked attack while waiting at a Toronto subway station.
22-year-old Jordan O’Brien-Tolbin was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.
Police authorities and transit unions have called on all levels of government to step in and address the rising wave of violent random attacks across Canada.
