Toronto police say a taxi driver has serious injuries after being stabbed during a possible fare dispute Wednesday evening.

Emergency crews were called to the area of Yonge Street and York Mills Road, just outside York Mills subway station and York Mills GO station, at around 9:20 p.m. with reports of a stabbing.

A spokesperson for Toronto Paramedics told Global News the victim was taken to a local hospital in serious, but non-life-threatening condition.

Toronto police said the stabbing may have followed an argument over a fare, but a spokesperson said officers were still probing the circumstances leading up to the stabbing.

It was reported the suspect took off into a mall at the intersection and that they were still outstanding as of Wednesday night.
