TorontoVideo shows man pushing shopping cart into Danforth bike lane, injuring e-bike riderBy Joanna LavoieOpens in new windowPublished: April 30, 2025 at 5:24PM EDT
Police say they’re investigating after a man allegedly pushed a grocery cart into a bike lane on Danforth Avenue, striking and injuring a food delivery courier on an e-bike.
The incident happened just before 10 a.m. on Tuesday in a dedicated bike lane on the north side of Danforth Avenue, near Monarch Park Avenue, just west of Coxwell Avenue.
Surveillance video shared with CTV News Toronto shows a man forcefully pushing the cart into the bike lane, hitting a cyclist who was travelling westbound.
The e-bike rider is then seen falling to the ground. The assailant appears to look back briefly before continuing to walk eastbound on the sidewalk.
Police tell CTV News Toronto that the victim was taken to hospital with unknown injuries. They are still trying to identify the suspect.
A second video from a door camera, which was also reviewed by CTV News Toronto, shows clearer images of the alleged perpetrator strolling away from the scene shortly before someone on an e-bike stops to help the injured cyclist.
Area business owner Holly Liddell provided both videos showing the incident and the suspect to the police.
She told CTV News Toronto that she “was “upset” by what happened.
Liddell, who often posts footage of crime-related incidents in the community to her local Facebook group, added that it seems that the suspect is a “regular in the neighbourhood,” adding that people in the area may know him and could give his name and address to the authorities.
David Shellnut, a personal injury lawyer who specializes in representing injured cyclists and vulnerable people, said it‘s “heartbreaking” to see acts of violence committed against cyclists.
“It could have been me. It could have been my neighbour. It could have been my wife,” he told CTV News Toronto this morning.
“This is such a random act of violence perpetuated against someone riding a bicycle. It really should give everybody pause.”
Shellnut issued a news release on Wednesday morning, drawing attention to the video and making a public appeal for information that may lead to the arrest of the suspect.
He told CTV News Toronto that he hopes the footage will “create awareness amongst cyclists to be wary and stay safe.”
“Our hope here is that people will band together so that justice is served,” Shellnut said, pointing to a past case his firm took on where a cyclist was allegedly purposely struck by a person on a motorcycle.
In that instance, his firm also shared video of the incident, which he said helped police apprehend the suspect.
“We do see this a lot. We’ve seen an uptick in aggressive behaviours on the roadways since the pandemic and even since the premier has come out shouting against bike lanes,” Shellnut said.
“We want people to really be careful out there. If you see someone who’s dangerous, behaving aggressively we want you to report that. … If you’ve seen this individual specifically, don’t confront them. Contact the authorities.”
A shocking video making the rounds on social media shows a pedestrian attacking a delivery driver using a shopping cart in what appears to be a completely unprompted assault.
Video captured just before 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Apr. 29, 2025 shows a pedestrian launch a shopping cart into a bike lane along Danforth Avenue near Monarch Park, striking and injuring a food delivery driver on an e-bike.
The food courier was reportedly hospitalized due to the attack.
The clip, which is circulating in the Danforth East York Woodbine Community Facebook group, has generated much discussion. Among those shocked by the incident is personal injury lawyer and cyclist rights advocate David Shellnutt, who issued a statement on the seemingly random assault.
Shellnutt noted how, in the video, "the cyclist is struck and falls to the ground injured," while "the perpetrator looks back at the harm caused and continues walking away from the scene."
"Apparently, the cyclist has sustained injury and was taken to hospital, but details remain limited, including if police are involved. Another e-cyclist arrived on scene first to render aid to the fallen cyclist as the perpetrator looked back at the mayhem and harm he had caused and casually kept walking."
"This represents a clear and present danger to cyclists and other road users in the City of Toronto," warns Shellnutt.
Shellnutt appeals to locals to help identify the suspect, writing, "our hope is that members of the community can help identify this perpetrator and share that information with Toronto police," and is hoping for "an arrest for aggravated assault."
He also hopes that "sharing his image and the video of the incident will ...create awareness amongst cyclists to be wary and stay safe."
"Our hope is that the person injured has a speedy recovery," he continues. "We know all too well the long-term recovery costs and complications that result from incidents like this."

If you ask DBS Developments CEO Bryan Levy, what Toronto needs is “more high-quality, purpose-built apartments that cater to long-term renters.”
Enjoy the latest local, national and international news.

And that’s what DBS is attempting to provide at Bela Square, its new purpose-built rental development in the Main-Danforth neighbourhood.
Steps from Taylor Creek Park just east of Main Street, the project’s 484 units are adding inventory to a market that, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, is already oversupplied,
But Levy sees a difference. “Historically, many renters have relied on investor-owned condos, which do not always provide the same security and amenities as dedicated rental buildings. Bela Square offers a purpose-built alternative where residents can put down roots, knowing that the quality, service and lifestyle will remain consistent over time,” he says.
Long-term security is another draw, he says. “Unlike renting from an investor-owned condo, where the owner may decide to sell or repurpose the unit, our residents can feel confident that this is a home they can stay in for as long as they choose.”
Designed by architecture firm Arcadis, with interiors by II By IV Design, Bela Square offers a variety of open-concept unit sizes across 94 and 100 Eastdale. Ranging from 463-square-foot one-bedrooms to four-bedrooms spanning 1,306 square feet, units include keyless entry, full-size stainless-steel appliances and stacked laundry.
“We expect to attract a range of residents,” Levy says. “Professionals may find the location convenient due to the nearby Danforth Line subway, while families may be drawn to the larger unit sizes and family-friendly amenities. Retirees seeking a maintenance-free lifestyle in an established neighbourhood may also consider Bela Square as an option.”
Levy also highlights the property management approach. “We have the largest property management team in DBS history on site, ensuring residents receive support at every stage of their rental experience. From dedicated leasing specialists to full-time maintenance staff, we’ve streamlined the process to make renting as straightforward as possible.”
Monthly rents range from $2,125 to $4,100. For more information, visit belasquare.ca.

Canadians have been in crisis mode after U.S
President Donald Trump’s tariff threats on products
many citizens are researching how they can shop locally
Trump’s threats of a 25 per cent tariff on many Canadian goods and 10 per cent on energy exports are on pause until early March, with another 25 per cent tariff on aluminum and steel set to take effect shortly after
the tariffs would affect products like meats
and increase the prices of these products in local and big-chain grocery stores
Canadian farmers and business owners are concerned about how it will affect their businesses, with factors like trading sustainability of crops and agriculture and price increases on products
The Toronto Observer interviewed some local
family-owned shop owners in the Pape and Danforth avenues area
who ensure the products they carry are Canadian-made
Although all of these shops source many or all of their products locally
they say they are still concerned with how these tariffs could potentially affect their business
Ellas Meat Market is a family-run butcher shop located at 674 Pape Ave
It has been in the East York community since 1977
and prides itself on caring about its customers
“We try to keep our prices as affordable as possible
But also maintaining the highest standards of meat we can give you,” said George Laganas
the son of the current owner of Ellas meat market
Laganas has worked in the shop for the past 33 years; his father has owned the shop since 1989
They source all of their products locally in Ontario
he said the tariffs will still affect business
“Regardless of whether we’re buying Canadian or not
the problem is that meat [in Canada] is based on the American dollar regardless
and no matter if it’s homegrown or not
the tariffs will affect the price going up,” Laganes said
we have to be really cautious with what we buy and where it comes from,” he said
The tariffs were paused for 30 days after Trump and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met over the phone. They both agreed to pause each country’s proposed tariffs while Canada implements border-security measures
Customers have asked Laganas and other coworkers whether they source anything American
He said their customers “don’t want to support any form of meat or any product that comes from the U.S.”
More than 50 per cent of beef imported to Canada in 2024 originated from the United States
Conversely, Canadian hog and cattle farmers are heavily reliant on access to the U.S. market, according to Farm Credit Canada. That’s because 2.6 million isowean pigs are sent to the U.S
for fattening and slaughtering from Manitoba
99 per cent of all hog exports from Canada
Canada exports 17 per cent of its total cattle production
This family-owned butcher shop has been a staple in the East York community for 56 years
Mister Greek Meat Market sources their meats from local farms in Ontario and the business owners have their own slaughter facilities
Nick Kontos is the son of the store owner; he has been a part of Mister Greek since he was a young boy
Kontos said the tariffs will affect business slightly because they import steaks from the U.S
there will be an issue that will impact the consumer
which is the customer that will pay the most money,” Kontos said
In 2023, 45.5 per cent of all beef in Canada was exported to other countries, according to Agriculture Canada
This includes beef production and beef exports (using the carcass weight and converting beef exports to a live cattle equivalent
volume of beef ÷ average warm carcass weight)
Masellis Supermarket is an Italian specialty grocery store that sources its meat and poultry from Ontario farms
Constantino talked to the Toronto Observer about his concerns with his produce prices
“Product of fresh produce coming out of Texas
we have no choice if you want fresh vegetables,” Constantino Masellis said
Canada imports roughly 50 per cent of vegetables and 80 per cent of fruit, according to Widener University
Prices on produce like berries and tropical fruits that are imported from states like California or Florida are expected to see an increase in Canadian grocery stores if the tariffs take effect
Masellis said that they have options outside of Ontario
depending on the type of fruits they import
He said more businesses should try to support local farmers if they can
“I’ve been in this business since I was a kid
I’ve seen a lot of farmers and nobody taking over their operation
so if we don’t support our local farmers
we’re gonna have fewer options,” Masellis said
Since Trump’s tariffs announcements and the subsequent pause
Canadians have been unsure what to prepare for
Shoppers should become more aware of price when shopping, and think about a product’s country of origin
according to assistant chief economist at Royal Bank of Canada

COLUMBUS -- For a Columbus Blue Jackets player, being called a donkey was the ultimate compliment to receive from the late Johnny Gaudreau
were tragically killed when they were struck by an alleged drunk driver while riding bicycles in Salem County
the Blue Jackets decided to retire a Civil War-type kepi and award the player of the game with a donkey hat this season
So, in the aftermath of the Blue Jackets' 5-3 victory against the Detroit Red Wings in the 2025 Navy Federal Credit Union Stadium Series at Ohio Stadium on Saturday, it was Justin Danforth who was the grateful recipient after scoring the go-ahead goal at 17:43 of the third period
he's been with us all year,” Danforth said
I know he's laughing up there and calling me a donkey
because he liked to joke around with me a lot.”
Columbus (30-22-8) has now won four straight games since the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off
including a 5-2 victory at Detroit (30-24-6) on Thursday
The Blue Jackets currently own the first wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Eastern Conference
“We know how big these games are,” Danforth said
but our mindset coming into it was two points
We're right there with them in the standings.”
the Blue Jackets’ first outdoor game was a celebration of the Gaudreau brothers and their family
13 a prominent sight among the second-largest crowd in NHL history (94,751)
and it was special for us to win for him and his family,” Danforth said
DET@CBJ: Danforth takes lead late in 3rd period
Maybe it was fitting that Danforth (5-foot-8
188 pounds) was the one who got the Blue Jackets back on track after blowing a two-goal lead in the third period
But whereas Gaudreau (5-9, 163) was all about skill, Danforth is more of a grinder, an attribute which led forward Mathieu Olivier to describe him as "a little pit bull out there."
“He's such a huge part of our group and obviously our line
and he doesn't get as much credit as he should
but he's a real important piece to our team
and I couldn't be happier for him to get that moment
On Danforth's goal, which gave Columbus a 4-3 lead, he split between defensemen Albert Johansson and Simon Edvinsson while entering the offensive zone
Danforth’s stick caught Edvinsson in the face
but he continued with the play and scored on his own rebound near the right post
The officials would huddle following the goal but the call stood
“I was hoping that they made the right call
but I felt like it was just a battle and that's what happened,” Danforth said
Said Blue Jackets coach Dean Evason: “It could go either way
I'm sure if we're on the other end we’ll be speaking to it.”
It hasn't been an easy journey for Danforth
He then missed the final 76 games of the 2022-23 season because of a shoulder injury
he was the unlikely hero on a subfreezing night (27 degrees Fahrenheit) in Columbus
to get me to this point and playing in the NHL
just to get to share it with the team and my family
Former child actor Gabriel del Castillo Mullally
Ryan Andrews maintains he did not mean to run over Gabriel Del Castillo Mullally and therefore did not have the intention to commit murder
The Crown opened its case Monday against a man who was driving a vehicle that hit
and killed former child actor Gabriel Del Castillo Mullally on the Danforth early on Feb
was behind the wheel of the Subaru Outback when it left the road and went onto the sidewalk and struck Del Castillo Mullally
as he was leaving a nearby after-hours bar called the Rusty Nail
The main issues at the trial will be whether Andrews intended to strike Del Castillo Mullally and if the killing was planned and deliberate
Andrews pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder but guilty to manslaughter
Andrews’s position is that while he was “drunk and angry” that evening
he was only trying to scare someone after being punched in the face and robbed of his phone — what’s called a provocation defence
He also maintains he did not mean to run over Del Castillo Mullally and therefore did not have the intention to commit murder
defence lawyers Sherif Foda and Zaire Puil will argue
so Andrews is standing trial for first-degree murder
could put him behind bars for a minimum of 25 years
prosecutor Andrew Gibbons said Del Castillo Mullally and his companions were already at the Rusty Nail when Andrews arrived at the bar just before 3 a.m
Andrews left and got into the Subaru he’d parked nearby
Surveillance video captured Andrews driving back and forth between the bar’s rear and front doors
He also left the vehicle to bang on the doors
“I ask you to pay attention to his behaviour and his body language
he appears to be stabbing at the (back) door repeatedly with a knife,” said Gibbons
Del Castillo Mullally exited the bar with friends
Del Castillo Mullally and Andrews got into a heated exchange
and Hopkins is expected to testify that when he came to his friend’s side
Andrews drove the Subaru onto the sidewalk
the vehicle hit Del Castillo Mullally as he walked beside Hopkins
After Del Castillo Mullally fell to the ground
“Andrews kept driving and ran him over as he returned to the roadway
Del Castillo Mullally went under both the front and rear wheels of the SUV,” Gibbons said
explaining that jurors will see surveillance footage of the carnage
gave an overview of Andrews’s troubled upbringing
Andrews had consumed cocaine and booze when he got into an argument in the bar with several people
Andrews’s phone from him,” the defence lawyer said
Andrews decided to confront Del Castillo Mullally and went to grab a knife from the car
When he couldn’t get back into the Rusty Nail
he kicked Andrews “like a stray dog,” while Hopkins threw a lunging hook that landed on his chin
Andrews didn’t try to use the knife “because he didn’t want to kill him,” Puil said
Andrews plans to testify at trial and will say that when he drove the Subaru onto the sidewalk
When he maneuvered the car back onto the sidewalk a second time
he accidentally struck Del Castillo Mullally
“He didn’t mean to kill anyone that night or even run anyone over.”
Andrews fled the scene and was arrested two days later
after initially resisting arrest and giving a fake name to police
Gabriel starred in the short “Tati” and the feature-length coming-of-age film “Amy George,” which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2011
His parents are screenwriter Guy Mullally and “Street Legal” actress Maria del Mar

this purpose-built rental tower would mark a significant height increase over a 2022 approval for 17 storeys on this lot immediately to the east
it is within its Major Transit Station Area where the Province now encourages more density
As well as being steps from the GO station
the site is a short walk to Main Street station on Danforth Line 2
designed by bKL Architecture for Fitzrovia Real Estate Inc
Formerly occupied by a self-storage facility
it now serves as a construction staging area for the three towers rising to the west
The neighbouring properties are similarly converting from low-rise commercial and light industrial uses to multi-use
with retail and amenities concentrated along Danforth Avenue
To the south across the Lakeshore East rail corridor lies a low-rise residential neighbourhood

intensification targets and transit-oriented development policies in places like East End Toronto's Danforth Village area have evolved
Fitzrovia has proposed this height increase and submitted a Zoning By-law Amendment application to the City of Toronto for a tower standing 194.55m
a much taller than the approved height of 58.2m
The design includes an 11-storey podium and a tower floor-plate of approximately 850m²
The proposal allocates 39,318m² of residential Gross Floor Area (GFA) as part of a total site-wide GFA of 119,149m²
increasing the previous Floor Space Index from 8.56 to 10.14 overall lot coverage
with six affordable rental units across the overall masterplan.
The proposal includes 1,359m² of indoor amenities
located on the ground floor and levels 12 and 56
while 808m² of outdoor amenities include a podium-rooftop pool on level 12 and additional spaces on levels 39 and 56
high-speed motors would be required for adequate service
As the final phase of the Rushden Station masterplan
the east block would include 610m² of POPS (Privately-Owned Publicly-accessible Space) plus a 1,400m² public park
would add significant green space to the neighbourhood
while the POPS would create accessible pedestrian pathways connecting the site to the surrounding area
Additional public benefits secured through a Section 37 agreement include $7 million toward a new community recreation centre
The proposal entails 53 vehicle parking spaces for residents and six for visitors spread across four above-grade podium levels
including 470 long-term and 107 short-term spaces
with 10 publicly accessible spots on the new public road
The building’s single level below grade would house essential infrastructure
The site is about 300m (a four-minute walk) from the Danforth GO station on the Lakeshore East line and 400m (a five-minute walk) from Main Street station
Surface transit options include the Carlton streetcar on Main Street and several bus routes connecting to the subway station
Cycling infrastructure includes dedicated bike lanes on Dawes Road and Danforth Avenue linking to the east-west Massey Creek Trail

was transported to hospital in life-threatening condition on the morning of Dec
an unhoused woman who’s lived in the area for years
Neighbours adorned Mary’s belongings
was known to frequent the area near Coxwell and Danforth Avenues
Residents in the Danforth community are mourning a well-known homeless woman
believed to have died last weekend on one of the coldest nights of the season
The woman, who went by the names Mary and Rita, was known to frequent the area near Coxwell and Danforth Avenues
She was transported to hospital on the morning of Dec
21 after staff at the nearby Tim Hortons found her “frozen” in the parking lot
Though the woman’s identity has not been made public
the Office of the Chief Coroner has confirmed it is investigating the death of a woman in hospital after she was found in “medical distress” in an east-end parking lot
Mary’s belongings remained in a pile by a tree in the parking lot
surrounded by a makeshift memorial — flowers and art laid to rest on the snow and ornaments hung from branches
“I just saw her here the other day,” Mary Willcott
Willcott learned of Mary’s passing moments earlier
who locals say had lived in the parking lot for years
died on the coldest weekend in Toronto this winter
The temperatures in the city on the day she was transported to hospital dropped as low as -18 C
“I can’t imagine what that would be like for somebody to sit there (outside) for eight
12 or 24 hours,” said Victoria Tinkler
a resident who had regular interactions with Mary
Tinkler said she bundled up against the cold and went out to search for Mary on the night of Dec
When she didn’t find Mary in her usual spot
Tinkler assumed she had gone to get a coffee or to use the washroom
and found a recent post in a neighbourhood group saying Mary had been found “frozen.”
Homeless people freezing or losing limbs to frostbite in the winter “is not a new thing,” said Lorraine Lam
“We’ve had people freeze to death over the years … and it’s completely unacceptable.”
Warming centres and shelter spaces can offer temporary relief
but many people don’t feel safe within the system and prefer to live on the street or in encampments
so the real “solution to homelessness is housing.”
“We shouldn’t need to worry about whether someone’s going to get frostbite or have their limbs amputated in Canadian winters when we know that this is coming every year,” she said
they would not be homeless,’ says a prominent homeless sector worker
In addition to more affordable housing options
who has volunteered with seniors and people living in encampments in the past
said more transitional support to help people navigate the services available to them is needed
“It’s not bad to recognize (unhoused people) have additional needs,” she said
“When those needs aren’t being met
we’re setting them up to fall through every single crack.”
- Sean Horrell walked into the woods holding a basket filled with hot meals
Attendees at the vigil on Monday echoed those sentiments; “I feel like we failed her,” said Willcott
“We have many people in this neighbourhood who are unhoused
but they’re still our neighbours,” she continued
“And I just think we’re all closer to Mary’s situation than we think.”
A woman is in hospital with serious injuries after she was stabbed in the Danforth
Officers were notified of a stabbing in the Greenwood Avenue and Danforth Avenue area at around 11:30 p.m
Police said a female victim walked herself to a hospital with life-threatening stab wounds
There is no suspect information at this time

The surrounding area exhibits Danforth Village’s evolving character
with traditional 2-3 storey mixed-use buildings giving way to mid-rise and taller developments closer to Main Street
Properties directly across the street at 2430-2474 Danforth Avenue are listed on the Heritage Register
and the proposal aims to respect and draw from this existing built form
Looking southwest to the current site from Danforth Avenue
Bousfields has submitted Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications to the City of Toronto on behalf of the developer
The proposal includes two mixed-use buildings connected by a shared podium
The western volume would rise 13 storeys (52.43m) with 241 units
while the eastern tower would stand 35 storeys (122.08m) with 379 units
the buildings would contain 620 residential suites
The total Gross Floor Area is planned at 41,252m²
with 38,054m² allocated to residential uses and a total Floor Space Index of 5.54
The proposal also includes a 354m² POPS (Privately Owned Publicly-accessible Space) at the eastern edge of the site
With the developer aiming to replace the store that will have to be demolished
the two-storey podium is designed for a grocery store spanning 2,258m² in the site’s centre
plus 939m² of neighbouring retail spaces at grade
indoor amenities totalling 1,266m² and outdoor amenities spanning 1,574m² would be concentrated on the third floor and the podium rooftop
the 13-storey tower would have approximately one elevator for every 80 units
would have approximately one elevator for every 126 units
A two-level underground garage would accommodate 190 parking spaces for residents
Bicycle parking provisions include 714 spaces

Located at 53 Ferrier Avenue
the two-and-a-half storey home is described as “an ideal combination of prime location
and modern amenities” in its listing
The detached home is 2,200 square feet and has a one-car garage
a local real estate agent who shared his thoughts about listing with the Star
said the property looks spacious and recently updated
The basement is maybe not at the same level as the rest of the house but that’s just my personal opinion,” he said
The main floor boasts an open-concept layout with hardwood floors and pot lights throughout
A welcoming foyer offers a closet and intricate stained glass window
you’ll find a large living and dining room area with a gas fireplace

and a laundry room combined with a utility room
The home is in a “very desirable area” with great education options
“Just based on the size and the area
it’s in a phenomenal location in terms of school districts
Judging by the size of the home this is for sure something that would appeal to likely a family,” he said
The fully-fenced backyard has a large shed or workspace with an inviting deck and patio
The garage is tucked away in a parking lane
“It is currently priced for bidding war
so it is priced way under market value right now,” Frodyma said
it appears like they are willing to take a little bit of a loss just to get out from under this property.”
Frodyma added the home could very likely grow in value over the next decade
“It’s pretty safe bet to say that if you were to buy a property here
you’re likely to see it appreciate in the long term
just because it has so many things going for it,” he explained
The property was listed twice in November for $1,688,000 and then $2,038,000 before being taken off the market towards the end of December
It was put back on the market for its current listing price in early February
“It’s priced conservatively low to get some bidding,” Guci said
The average price of a detached home in the East York area in January was $1,319,820 according to The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board’s (TRREB) market watch report
