Suspect arrested after 3 Calgary Transit drivers assaulted at bus loop
Calgary police arrested a man on Thursday morning after being called to a bus loop in the city's northeast on reports that someone had assaulted three Calgary Transit bus drivers. Officers responded to the bus loop near the intersection of Centre Street and 78th Avenue N.E. at 10:45 a.m., according to police. It was reported that an intoxicated man assaulted three Calgary Transit drivers who were outside of their vehicles, standing at the bus loop. Shortly after arriving at the scene, officers took one man into custody. "This does appear to be a random attack on the bus drivers on transit property," said Staff Sgt. Jordan Nolan. "We will work with our partners at Calgary Transit to ensure the safety of our bus drivers as well as the offender is dealt with and charged appropriately." Nolan said the suspect has had interactions with police several times in the past. No weapon was used in the assault and the victims suffered minor injuries, police said. Last month a city bus driver was the victim of an attack that put him in hospital in life-threatening condition. The driver was attacked after he refused a request to deviate from the designated bus route. Two men were charged in that previous incident.

Calgary police to deploy enhanced security measures during busy street festival season
Calgary Police Service (CPS) say they'll be beefing up security at street festivals this summer. CPS deputy Insp. Jordan Nolan tells Global News the new measures are in response to incidents where vehicles have been used to drive into crowds. 'Given recent events that have happened across the county and in other parts of the world, we are taking measures to ensure things like the Lilac Festival will see enhanced safety measures,' explained Nolan.

'Not only are we ensuring that the event is safe, but also that people can enjoy it without being impeded by those measures,' Nolan said. 'You'll probably see it at most events that are coming up. Just as things change, as events around the world change, and we will adapt and evolve and change our practices as well.'
