A man stabbed at the Ajax GO station Tuesday afternoon had a “minor interaction” with the suspect prior to the stabbing, but the two didn’t know each other, police say.

Durham Regional Police released security images Wednesday of a suspect who is wanted after the incident.

Officers responded to the station at around 2:20 p.m. and found a 23-year-old man suffering from stab wounds.

He was taken to a Toronto-area trauma centre in life-threatening condition, but has since been upgraded to stable.

Police said the K-9 unit and Air1 helicopter responded after the suspect fled the area on foot, but no arrest was made.
