A 23-year-old woman is in hospital with life-threatening injuries following a stabbing near York University Wednesday night.

Police say they were called to the area of Assiniboine Road and Evelyn Wiggins Drive just after 10 p.m.

It was reported that the woman was walking along a pathway leading away from one of the university’s campus parking lots when a man assaulted her, knocked her to the ground and dragged her a short distance.

When paramedics arrived on scene they rushed the woman to a trauma centre.

Police are searching for a male suspect who was seen fleeing the area armed with a knife.

He’s described as Asian, early to mid 20s, between five-foot-nine and five-foot-11, 170 to 190 pounds with a slim build, and black hair. He was last seen wearing a black puffy jacket, “stylish” glasses, pants and a hoodie with a backpack.

There has been no word on if the victim is a student at the university.

Police are unable to say if this was just a random attack.
