TMU hit-and-run suspect arrested following ‘road rage incident’ in Scarborough: police

  • Ryan Petroff, a 23-year-old man from Toronto, was taken into custody in connection with an April 15 incident at Toronto Metropolitan University where a vehicle struck several pedestrians on Nelson Mandela Walk, resulting in injuries to five individuals.
  • Weeks after the initial attack, police apprehended Petroff while responding to a distinct road rage event near Morningside Avenue and Highway 401 and executed multiple outstanding warrants.
  • At the time of the incident, several individuals were resting on a bench when Petroff allegedly drove a green Honda with stolen plates onto the pedestrian path, hitting three people and injuring two others before fleeing the scene.
  • Police confirmed on Friday that Petroff is facing 24 charges, among them attempted murder, sexual assault involving a weapon, assault causing bodily injury, dangerous driving, and failure to remain at the scene of an accident.
  • Toronto Metropolitan University has placed planters at Nelson Mandela Walk entrances, while investigators believe Petroff targeted a specific person known to him in the attack.
