Emergency crews were called to the YMCA Centre on Town Centre Court, west of McCowan Road, just after 8 p.m. Saturday after a large fight occurred.

A 17-year-old was taken to hospital in serious, but non-life-threatening condition.

Const. David Hopkinson said investigators are trying to determine where the stabbing occurred.

A spokesman for the YMCA of Greater Toronto said the agency is cooperating with police.

“The YMCA of Greater Toronto is always concerned with the safety and well-being of its members and staff,” public relations manager Antoine Tedesco wrote in a statement to Global News.

“With more than four million visits to our facilities, the YMCA continues to be a safe and welcoming place for young people.”
