The family of a young woman who was attacked and set on fire on a Toronto transit bus last month has released a statement after the woman died from her injuries on July 5.

The assault took place on June 17 at around 12:30 p.m. aboard a Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) bus in the Kipling Avenue and Dundas Street West area. The female victim was attacked by a man, who poured a flammable liquid on her and then set the substance on fire, causing the woman to burn.
