TORONTO – A third suspect wanted in connection to a Toronto high school stabbing two weeks ago has surrendered to police.
Police confirm the arrest of the 16-year-old took place just before midnight at 14 Division.
This comes after a 17-year-old and a 20-year-old turned themselves in to police last week in relations to a stabbing of a 19-year-old student at Central Technical School.
The two accused face charges of assault, aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, carry concealed weapon and weapons dangerous.

The teenage victim suffered a punctured lung after he was stabbed in the chest in the afternoon of Sept. 8.
Police said three unknown males, who were not students at the school, were attempting to rob two other males of their cellphones when the victim intervened and was subsequently stabbed.
Police spokesperson Mark Pugash said the third suspect is a young offender and his identity will not be released.
The accused faces a total of seven charges including assault, aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, carry concealed weapon, weapons dangerous, robbery and fail to comply recognizance.
He was scheduled to appear in court Monday morning.
