A 15-year-old boy has been taken to a Toronto hospital with serious injuries from the TTC’s Sheppard West subway station after he was stabbed, authorities say.

A Toronto Police Service spokesperson told CityNews emergency crews received a call from a collector’s booth inside the station after 9:30 p.m. with a report someone was injured. It wasn’t immediately clear where exactly the stabbing occurred.

A spokesperson with Toronto Paramedic Services said the boy was taken to the hospital in serious, but non-life-threatening condition.
