TORONTO – One man is dead and another has been taken to hospital after a stabbing during a brawl in Etobicoke.
Police say they were called early Sunday morning to a large fight at the Tibetan Canadian Cultural Centre in the city’s west end near Islington Avenue and Norseman Street.
Paramedics took a man, believed to be in his 30s, to hospital with a life-threatening chest wound where he later died.
Police in Mississauga pulled over a vehicle shortly afterwards with people matching the description of those in the brawl.
One of them was taken to hospital with a stab wound and is expected to recover.
Investigators say the brawl occurred during a Tibetan new year’s, and that party goers may have not realized what was happening.
Anyone with information is being asked to contact police at 416-808-2200, or anonymously at Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
