Peel Regional Police say a 16-year-old boy is charged with aggravated assault after a stabbing in the parking lot of a Mississauga plaza following an alleged road rage incident.
Police said they were called to Eglinton Avenue West and Ridgeway Drive at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday after reports someone had been stabbed at a plaza parking lot.
Investigators alleged the stabbing “appears to result from a brief road rage incident.”
They also said the suspect and the victim did not know each other.
Cellphone video obtained by Global News shows what appears to be the suspect on the ground being held by two other men. According to one witness at the plaza, one of the men holding down the suspect was the stabbing victim.
After a brief struggle, the two men were seen letting the suspect go and he gets up and runs away.
A man was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
In an update on Friday morning, investigators said they had made an arrest in the investigation.
A 16-year-old boy from Mississauga had turned himself in on Thursday. He is charged with aggravated assault but due to the Youth Criminal Justice Act, his identity cannot be revealed.
