The Toronto police is set to bring a 40-year-old female financial adviser to court following her arrest in connection with the "unprovoked" stabbing in Toronto's PATH, an underground pedestrian walkway in Canada's capital.

Rohinie Bisesar went into hiding after stabbing a younger female victim inside a Shoppers Drug Mart at 66 Wellington St., near Bay Street but was arrested Tuesday.

Little was known about Bisesar prior to her arrest although police investigators earlier said the suspect was a frequent face in Toronto's financial district.

Friends and colleagues later said Bisesar is a Toronto-based financial advisor with a decade-long history of work in finance.

She was described as well-mannered and calm by people who knew her. Why she did the stabbing remained a question that even police investigators do not have answers yet.

"She never shared anything about her personal life and we didn't bother to ask but she was a calm and gentle person," another financial adviser said of Bisesar.

On Friday last week, Bisesar went into a Shoppers Drug Mart located in Toronto's PATH and suddenly stabbed a younger woman who was talking on a phone.

The stabbing was "unprovoked", the police said, and those nearby did not notice unusual about Bisesar before she committed the crime.

Police said the victim remains in grave condition in a hospital in Toronto. The victim, whose name was not revealed, reportedly was stabbed in a vital organ.

Locals, however, said Bisesar displayed a rather unusual behavior days before the incident. One Starbucks crew said he knew something was off when the female financial adviser would stand near the cash register and give the crew a blank stare.

Bisesar, who was deemed armed and dangerous before her arrest, was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, and carrying a concealed weapon. The circumstances behind her arrest were not disclosed as of press time.
