Police said the assault was reported at York Street and University Avenue just after midnight on Dec. 18.

The man was assaulted and stabbed by eight teenage girls — three 13-year-olds, three 14-year-olds, and two 16-year-olds — police allege.

The man was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition where he died a short time later.

On Tuesday, investigators released the identity and photo of the victim, 59-year-old Ken Lee.

The group of girls was arrested nearby, police said.

Due to their ages, their names cannot be released under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
