16-year-old stabbed near Brampton high school

BRAMPTON, Ont. – A 16-year-old boy has been rushed to hospital after he was stabbed near a high school in Brampton.

Peel regional police say three suspects are in custody, but it’s not yet known how old they are or if they or the victim are students at Turner Fenton Secondary School.

The teenage victim was taken to Sunnybrook Hospital in serious condition, though his injuries are considered non-life-threatening.
