Woman dead after unprovoked assault in downtown Toronto, police say

I live in this area. There are so many people with mental illness roaming the streets it’s really concerning. Today alone I encountered people screaming, this poor guy who seems to be developmentally delayed just playing with Pokémon cards just sitting right on the corner. I don’t know what the solution is, but something needs to change . People need help.
