Police investigate at the scene [photo credit]
All the media outlets are reporting today that there's been an arrest in the incident friday where an irate cyclist stabbed a motorist in the neck with a screwdriver in retaliation for blocking the bikelane:
Police have made an arrest in an investigation into a stabbing which occurred on Friday, November 2, 2007, at the intersection of McCaul Street and College Street. Yonan Inwia, 34, of Toronto, was arrested ... and has been charged with:
- 1- Aggravated Assault,
- 2- Carry a Concealed Weapon,
- 3- Assault with a Weapon,
- 4- Weapons Dangerous,
- 5- Assault Causing Bodily Harm.
More details at the CBC, the Star, the Globe and the Post.
There's also a discussion in the comments of Monday's post about if cyclists should retaliate against aggressive drivers.
Is it justified, or is it just becoming as jerky as they are (although only a very small percentage of drivers are actually jerks)?

If you blindly follow other media and report that the cyclist has been described as a courier, do you not have a responsibility to also report that the cyclist arrested was in fact not a courier?

Initial reports described the suspect as a courier and also as possibly homeless. BikingToronto nor any major media outlets did not say it WAS a courier.
