A man in his 20s is in custody after a taxi driver was seriously injured after Toronto police officers allege a passenger stabbed him.
In a post on a Toronto Police Service X account, officers said emergency crews were called to the area Lower Sherbourne Street and The Esplanade just before 7:50 p.m. on Monday.
The post said an altercation happened between the suspect and the victim just before the stabbing occurred. The circumstances leading up to the fight weren’t immediately clear.
A Toronto Paramedics spokesperson told CityNews a man was taken to a hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.
On Tuesday morning, police said a 23-year-old male had been arrested in this case and that there were no other suspects.
