Toronto police have released security images of a suspect wanted after officers say a man was seriously injured in a random stabbing on a TTC streetcar Sunday night.

Police said just after 10:30 p.m., the victim was sitting on a streetcar in the area of John Street and Queen Street West.

Investigators allege a man then approached the victim from behind and “without any provocation” stabbed him multiple times before fleeing the scene.

Police released security images Monday morning of a suspect wanted in connection with the incident in the hope that someone would be able to identify him.
