A woman is in hospital after she was stabbed by a man who fled in a vehicle in Scarborough.
Toronto police say officers were called to the area of Markham Road and Select Avenue near Steeles Avenue East around 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday following reports of a violent attack.
When they arrived, they found a woman in her 50s suffering from serious injuries. She was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, but her condition has since improved and her injuries are no longer critical. Police, however, described her injuries as life-altering.
Investigators say the suspect waited for the victim outside a business. He approached her and allegedly assaulted her with an edged weapon.
The suspect fled the scene in a white, newer model Nissan Sentra
He is described as approximately five feet eight inches tall with a medium build and was last seen wearing a blue toque, black jacket and black pants.
Images of the suspect and the vehicle have been released.
Police have not indicated whether the victim and suspect were known to each other.
Photos from the scene showed a Porsche covered in police tape outside of a business on Select Avenue.
Authorities are urging anyone with information, dashcam footage, or surveillance video from the area to contact investigators.
