Toronto police say a woman has died and two others have been injured after a daylight stabbing in the city’s north end Monday afternoon.

Emergency crews were called to Crown Spa on Dufferin Street, between Wilson Avenue and Highway 401, at around 12:40 p.m. for reports of a stabbing.

“[Callers] were saying they had a female outside, that she was covered in blood, and also a male was lying outside of the premise,” Insp. Darren Alldrit told reporters Monday afternoon, adding it’s believed the injuries happened inside the business.

He said officers, who were nearby on an unrelated matter, quickly got to the scene. After emergency crews arrived, a woman in her 20s was found dead inside the massage parlour.

Alldrit said the man was in life-threatening condition and the woman was in serious, but non-life-threatening condition, adding both were treated for “laceration-type injuries.”

He said a weapon was found outside of the business.
