A Stabbing Inside A Toronto Subway Station Has Left 2 Women Hurt & A Man Is In Custody

Here's the latest from Toronto Police. 👇

A stabbing inside of a Toronto subway station in the middle of the afternoon Thursday has left two women seriously hurt.

The Toronto Police Service (TPS) said officers were called to the eastbound platform of High Park Station, near High Park Avenue and Bloor Street West, at 2:05 p.m. for reports a person had "assaulted and possibly stabbed" several people.

In an update less than half an hour later, police confirmed two people had been located on the scene with stab wounds.

Police said the pair were rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Toronto Paramedics confirmed to Narcity they transported two adult females to the hospital. They said one of them was in life-threatening condition and the other was in serious condition.

A man has since been taken into custody.

Police haven't yet provided any more details about the suspect in this incident or said whether the stabbing was targeted or a random attack.

As the investigation on the scene continued, the TTC said buses were not stopping at High Park Station and there was no subway service on line 2 between Keele and Jane because of a security incident.
