Young Man Sentenced for Bus Attack

Twenty-one-year-old Curtis Baker Spence just got sentenced to four years for a savage attack on a Calgary bus driver in 2025, using a baton and sharp object after demanding a route change. The victim, 67-year-old Amarjit Grewal, suffered serious injuries. Spence’s brother, Darryl Flett, also pleaded guilty. The judge called it “senseless,” noting Spence’s prior record and Indigenous upbringing marked by foster care. Spence will serve 13 months already served and faces a 10-year weapons ban, with release slated for October 2028. The case sparks urgent calls for transit safety, with union rallies demanding “Assault a Transit Operator Go to Jail” and pushing for more peace officers amid Calgary Transit’s hiring crisis.
