An elderly man who cried out for help as he was being mugged on a Toronto subway train received no assistance from other commuters.The 79-year-old victim, Yusuf Hizel, told City-TV that two thugs asked for change and when he told them he didn't have any they grabbed him and took his wallet out of his pocket and smashed his glasses.
He tried to activate the passenger-assistance alarm _ a yellow strip above the seats _ but could not reach it.
He said Monday night that the train was half full and despite screaming for help, no one came.
The attackers fled when the train pulled into an east-end station and his wallet, with the money gone, was later found on the street.
It fills one with a sense of pride in one's community, no?
