Toronto police said that around 3:30 p.m. a fight broke out near Weston Collegiate Institute, near Weston Road and Lawrence Avenue in the northwest of the city.
A group of roughly 30 young people were involved in the altercation, with a 15-year-old stabbed in the torso and rushed to hospital, according to Acting Insp. Todd Jocko.

Later, two more youths — aged 15 and 17 — were also taken to hospital, police said.
Global News reached out to the Toronto District School Board about the fight.
“While this particular incident occurred off school property and after school had ended, we will continue to work with students, staff, community members and Toronto Police to support in any way we can,” said TDSB spokesperson Ryan Bird. “We all play a role in helping make our communities safer.”
Police told Global News in an update on Wednesday morning that a “young person” has been arrested in connection to the stabbing but did not release any further details.
The relationship between those injured and the group is unknown.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police, with surveillance footage also encouraged to help officers piece together a picture of what took place.
