One male is in hospital with serious injuries and another has been treated and released after both were stabbed outside a Mississauga movie theatre early Monday evening.

Peel police say the victims were stabbed during an altercation between two groups outside the cinema located at Confederation Parkway and Rathburn Road West shortly before 6 p.m.

Initial reports suggest that the weapon used may have been an axe.

“We have a pretty good idea who we are looking for, so it would be in their best interest to turn themselves in,” Peel police Const. Thomas Ruttan told CP24 at the scene.

No information on any suspects has been provided by police.
