Duty senior officer Brian Maslowski told reporters police were called to St. Clair Avenue, just east of Runnymede Road, at around 3:25 a.m.
Maslowski said it was initially thought the man was involved in a collision with a vehicle. When officers arrived, they determined he was a victim of a stabbing.
