Male victim stabbed multiple times onboard bus in North York: police

A male victim was stabbed multiple times onboard a bus in North York Saturday afternoon, Toronto police say.

Police said officers were called at 2:14 p.m. to the area of Keele Street and Wilson Avenue.

Const. David Hopkinson told Global News an altercation took place on a TTC bus and the victim suffered multiple stab wounds.

Hopkinson said reports from the scene indicate the victim is in his teens.

Toronto paramedics said they transported a male to a trauma centre in serious, potentially critical condition.

Police assisted paramedics with an emergency run to the hospital.

Hopkinson said the injuries were reported to be life-threatening. Const. Alex Li later told Global News he was stabilized in hospital.

A suspect is in custody and there is no threat to the public, Hopkinson added.

A police tweet initially indicated the victim was a man, but officers were later not able to specify his age.
