Toronto police officers say a 29-year-old man is facing charges after an unprovoked stabbing in East Danforth on Sunday.
Investigators say the incident occurred in the Danforth Avenue and Main Street area on June 28 at around 12:45 p.m. when the suspect approached a person from behind and stabbed them in the back.
The suspect then fled the area.
The victim, whose age and gender have not been released by police, was treated for serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
“It appears the victim and suspect were not known to one another and it was random,” a police spokesperson told CityNews.
In an update released Tuesday night, investigators said Nathan Grant was arrested and charged with assault causing bodily harm and assault with a weapon.
He was scheduled to appear in a Toronto court Wednesday morning. The allegations haven’t been proven in court.
