An elderly Holocaust survivor was badly beaten last November in the back of a public transport vehicle, according to a report.
Montreal resident Hanka Fogelman, 92, called for a cab operated by Société de transport de Montréal (STM), a transit service provided by the city for individuals with physical and mental disabilities. The driver immediately warned Fogelman about a male passenger, saying he was “aggressive” and could be dangerous, according to CBC.
