Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) driver Anna Cohen knows firsthand how debilitating a workplace assault can be.
Cohen, who has been working with the transit agency for over 12 years, was driving the Route 84 Sheppard West bus in North York in June of 2020 when a man ripped the handset out of her bus phone and beat her with it.
“He hit my face and my head numerous times,” Cohen said. She suffered a broken orbital bone that has caused a facial deformity, which still needs surgery.
“That assault caused of … a tremendous amount of trauma. I still suffer from PTSD.”
