Another Member Of CFRB's Morning Show Randomly Attacked On The Street

Last April, it was morning show host John Moore who narrowly avoided an attack by a stranger at a subway entrance. 

On Thursday, it was his producer, Joe Cristiano. The radio vet was walking down the street to get a rented bike, when a total stranger walked up to him and punched him hard in the shoulder. Fortunately, he was carrying his helmet, which deflected most of the blow. But the hit was hard enough to break the shell of the lid, which would need considerable force. 

Luckily he wasn't hurt, and was able to call a cop at a nearby construction site over to chase the guy down, where he was arrested. 

Fortunately, Cristiano wasn't hurt and was back behind the glass for Friday morning's show, a bit shaken up, but none the worse for wear.

The Toronto Sun's Joe Warmington outlined the incident in his column and you can read it here.
