A 14-year-old girl is facing charges after a stabbing at a Toronto subway station Thursday evening while officers work to identify an outstanding suspect.
Toronto police said they were called to Wilson subway station just before 5:30 p.m. for an assault with a weapon.

The man was taken to hospital, where his injuries were deemed non-life-threatening.
The girl was arrested at the scene.
She suffered minor injuries in the incident — but wasn’t stabbed — and was taken to hospital, officials said.
