A 15-year-old is ‘fighting for his life’ after being stabbed at Clark Park in Brampton.

Peel police were called to the east side of the park just before 5 p.m. Friday for reports of several youths were fighting.

When police arrived they found a teen suffering from apparent stab wounds. They were taken to a trauma centre with life-threatening injuries.

“We don’t know yet if there was more than one person armed with an edged weapon that was involved in this altercation, we don’t know if all of the people present were in fact suspects or if some of the folks leaving the scene just happen to be bystanders and fleeing what was obviously a frightening circumstance,” said police.

Investigators are appealing to anyone who may have been walking on the various footpaths within the park around the time of the incident to contact police.
