Toronto police say a male victim was rushed to hospital after he flagged people down for help in the city’s east end after being stabbed.

Police said they were called to the area of Valley Woods Road and Brookbanks Drive, south of the Don Valley Parkway and York Mills Road, shortly before 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Officers initially said that the victim walked onto a TTC bus with at least one stab wound, but later said it appears the bus was just flagged down and the victim may have not actually entered the bus.
