Man injured in stabbing at Etobicoke hotel used as temporary city shelter

Toronto police continue to investigate after a man was stabbed at an Etobicoke hotel early Monday, a building the City of Toronto confirms is currently being used as part of its temporary homeless shelter system.

Emergency crews were called to the Four Points by Sheraton Toronto Airport East, located at 2180 Islington Avenue near Highway 401, around 1:50 a.m. for reports of a stabbing inside the hotel.

Toronto police say emergency personnel transported a male victim in his 60s with serious but non‑life‑threatening stab wounds.

The City of Toronto confirmed Monday that the hotel is currently under contract for temporary use as part of its shelter system. The city did not say whether the victim or any potential suspect was connected to the shelter program.

“We are aware of the incident reported at this location overnight and are working to ensure the well-being of staff and shelter residents. Any further questions should be directed to the Toronto Police Service,” a spokesperson said.

There is no suspect description at this time, and the investigation is ongoing.
