Toronto police are investigating two separate stabbings that took place in South Etobicoke on Sunday evening.
Officers were initially called to Park Lawn Road and Berry Road just after 7:00 p.m. for reports of a stabbing.
Police say a young victim went with a group of friends to meet an online buyer who was interested in a hoodie that the victim was selling.
When the group arrived at the meeting spot, authorities say they were allegedly robbed by another group of young people who were armed with knives and what appeared to be a gun.
One individual was injured and transported to a local hospital. No suspect descriptions were provided.
Less than two hours later police were called about another unrelated stabbing just a few kilometres away, near Lake Shore Boulevard West and Douglas Boulevard.
Police say a dispute between two men on a TTC bus allegedly ended with one of the men getting stabbed in his armpit.
The victim was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Authorities say the suspect is still outstanding. He is described as a male between the ages of 35 and 40. He is approximately five-foot-eight and was last seen wearing a black jacket and red Nike shoes.
