Human waste allegedly thrown on workers trying to restore power at establishment
The property manager of an apartment building in St. James Town in Toronto has asked the residents to stop throwing human feces at electrical workers fixing the apartment’s electric connection, the Toronto Sun reported.
The Toronto Star reported that property management of the Wellesley Parliament Square became aware of a “small group of residents” who had allegedly been “repeatedly interfering with, threatening and/or harassing” members of an electrical contracting team.”
“Reports of unacceptable behaviour include throwing human waste from upper-level balconies at workers below, aggressive language, and/or hostile interactions,” said the Toronto Star report, citing the letter circulating on the social media platform Reddit.
The unnamed property manager who wrote the letter said the unruly behaviour of the residents is making the power restoration work slower.
The Toronto Star report, quoting the letter, said that the workers are working round-the-clock to restore the power supply affecting several units of the apartment building, and the residents’ behaviour just “makes no sense.”
The power outage happened after a storm when water seeped into the electrical system of the apartment, resulting in “catastrophic damage.” Wellesley Parliament Square spokesperson Danny Roth said that the workers had also been working to “wean” the building off the external power sources and back onto the existing hydroelectric system.
He later confirmed with the Toronto Sun that the electricity has been restored to units at the building near Bloor St. E. and Parliament St.
