A male in his 20s was arrested a short time later and charged with aggravated assault. Officials were also able to locate a woman considered to be a person of interest but after questioning she was cleared of any involvement.
A witness named Sean said he saw the victim in distress.
“I came up the stairs (from the subway)…someone was screaming, ‘I’ve been stabbed, I’ve been stabbed!’ ” he recalled.
TTC trains were bypassing the Dundas West station and 40 Junction buses were being diverted because of the police investigation, the TTC said.
