A man is in hospital with critical injuries after police say he was stabbed several times in the town of Bowmanville on Sunday night.
Police say a 33-year-old man was walking in the area of Queen and Temperance Street around 9:40 p.m. when he was approached by a man on a bike, and then stabbed.
Police say the man was stabbed in the upper torso a number of times. Upon arrival, emergency crews took the victim to a Toronto trauma centre. He remains in critical condition. Investigators say at this time, it’s not clear what provoked the incident, but police believe the two knew each other.
“It’s not a random act, however, we’re not releasing too much information as it’s still ongoing and we would like to speak with the suspect prior to get a better understanding of why this took place,” says Tudos.
