A man in his 30s is recovering in hospital after a stabbing inside the lobby of a downtown Toronto apartment building early Wednesday.
Emergency crews were called to 200 Wellesley Street East, near Bleecker Street, just after 12:13 a.m., where officers found the victim suffering from stab wounds.
Toronto paramedics transported him to the hospital in critical condition, but police now say his injuries have been assessed as non‑life‑threatening.
The stabbing occurred inside the building, a large high‑rise complex. Police have not said what led to the confrontation or whether the individuals knew each other.
“No suspect descriptions yet,” a police spokesperson said. “This does appear to be an isolated and targeted incident as opposed to a random attack.”
Witnesses tell 680 NewsRadio that they heard two men arguing outside the building prior to the victim being stabbed inside the lobby.
The high‑rise complex at 200 Wellesley has seen multiple emergency responses over the years, including a recent stabbing incident in October.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Toronto police or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
