One man has been arrested in an alleged attempted home invasion in Toronto after a struggle ensued with the owner of the residence, leading to the suspect being stabbed.
Police officers were called to the Eglinton Avenue West and Jane Street area in Mount Dennis on May 5 for reports of a stabbing.
It’s alleged that a homeowner was entering their residence when a masked male suspect approached and threatened the victim with a knife while making a demand for cash.
Police said a struggle ensued, and the homeowner was able to take the knife from the suspect, who was stabbed in the leg in the process. The suspect then fled the area empty-handed.
Investigators were able to identify the suspect and, on Tuesday, arrested 22-year-old Curtis Foster of Toronto. He’s been charged with robbery with an offensive weapon and disguise with intent.
Foster appeared in court on Wednesday morning.
