Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Underground parking areas can frighten the woman who travels alone. Best advice Metro Police have for a woman in such a spot is to be prepared in case of attack. Screams that will summon help; and a kick to the groin area of the assailant may give the woman a chance to escape; Inspector Fred Wootton told The Star.
