Toronto police say a 27-year-old man is wanted in connection with a stabbing in the city’s downtown core last weekend.

Police said officers were called to the area of Yonge and Front streets at 1:30 a.m. on Sunday for reports of a stabbing.

A man reportedly approached a group of individuals and stabbed another man before fleeing the scene. The victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Police released a suspect description earlier this week and sought the public’s help in identifying him.
