Police said three male suspects entered a home on Moorehead Crescent in Brampton armed with a knife and replica handgun.
Three people were home at the time, around 12:04 a.m. Saturday morning, and a struggle broke out with one of the male occupants.
“As a result a male occupant was stabbed in the back,” said Cst. Rachel Gibbs with Peel Regional Police.
The victim’s injuries are considered non-life-threatening.
“The three suspects left on foot. The canine [unit] could not track them, so it was believed there was a motor vehicle used in the getaway,” said Gibbs.
Some property was stolen and the replica handgun was left behind.
Anyone with information is asked to call Peel Regional Police’s 22 Division criminal investigations bureau at 905-453-2121 ext. 2233.
