Toronto police are investigating a stabbing that occurred in Scarborough on Wednesday evening. Officers responded to reports of a stabbing in the area of Eglinton Avenue East and Kennedy Road around 5:44 p.m. EDT.
Victim and Suspect
A male victim was found at the scene with stab wounds. He was transported to a local hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The suspect fled the scene before police arrived. No description of the suspect has been released at this time.
Ongoing Investigation
Police have cordoned off the area and are canvassing for witnesses and surveillance footage. Investigators are urging anyone with information to contact them or Crime Stoppers anonymously. The motive for the stabbing remains unclear.
This incident adds to a series of violent events in the city. Earlier this week, an Oshawa youth group home worker was arrested for sexual assault of a 13-year-old boy, and a man was charged in a Cambridge gold heist. Police continue to emphasize public safety.
