Man Stabbed In Downtown Core

A man is in hospital after he was stabbed in the abdomen Saturday night.

It happened around 11:15pm inside a building on Adelaide Street, east of Sherbourne.

The victim was transported to St. Michael’s Hospital with non-life threatening injuries and is cooperating with police.

Officers also spoke to witnesses who said they saw four males running north on Ontario Street.

Kevin McGarry, who lives in the area and was in a bar across the street at the time of the incident, pointed out this isn’t the first time there’s been violence in the neighbourhood.

Last September, 21-year-old Kamal Hercules was shot and killed outside a Rabba grocery store at Front and Sherbourne streets.

“It’s kind of a sketchy area up around Queen and Sherbourne. So you kind of get used to this stuff happening around here,” McGarry said.

If you can help with the investigation, call police at 416-808-5100 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
