A student was taken to hospital after a stabbing inside of a high school in Toronto on Wednesday.
Toronto police said officers responded to Cedarbrae Collegiate Institute in the Markham Road and Lawrence Avenue East area at 12:02 p.m. on Wednesday.
A 17-year-old student suffered non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Toronto paramedics told Global News they transported a male to a local hospital in stable condition.
A letter from the school’s principal to parents said an altercation involving students occurred in a stairwell and the school was placed in a “brief” hold and secure.

“The hold and secure was lifted at approximately 12:30 p.m. when police advised it was safe to do so. This is now a police matter, and they continue to investigate.”
Shortly before 4 p.m., police said two suspects were outstanding.
