A 17-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with a stabbing that left a 30-year-old man dead in Toronto Friday morning.

Police said Kafi Abshir was found with multiple stab wounds on Weston Road and was transported to hospital where he was eventually pronounced dead.

“The altercation began at 5 Bellevue Crescent,” Det. Brandon Price said on Friday.

“The victim then fled out to Weston Road and he collapsed just over to my left here, and the suspect in the attack fled westbound on Bellevue Crescent.”

Deputy Chief James Ramer tweeted later Friday that they had arrested a 17-year-old and would be charging him with first degree murder.
