Four people were rushed to hospital following what Toronto police describe as a family-related, violent stabbing incident in North York.
Toronto police say they were called to the Bathurst Street and Steeles Avenue area around 9:45 p.m. for reports of unknown trouble.
Police found four victims with various levels of injuries who were taken to the hospital. All of the victims had been stabbed. One man was arrested at the scene.
Paramedics tell CityNews they transported five people to the hospital — four with injuries and a fifth person was taken to the hospital for an assessment.
Two men, aged 23 and 26, suffered serious stab wounds. Two women aged 51 and 29 suffered non-life threatening injuries. The accused, 53, was not injured.
Police confirmed the five people are family members.
The accused is charged with three counts each of aggravated assault and assault with a weapon as well as one count of assault causing bodily harm.
He was scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday morning.
Police are not looking for any additional suspects and say they are not naming the accused to protect the identities of the victims
