Toronto police say a man in his 30s has died after he was stabbed outside an apartment building early Friday.

Insp. Peter Wehby told reporters a man was found with a stab wound outside of an apartment building and was rushed to hospital.

He later died from his injuries in hospital, police said.

Wehby said investigators believe a dispute happened inside of the apartment building and then spilled outside where the victim was found.
