A man is recovering Wednesday after being stabbed by an intruder in his east-end apartment the night before, police said.
The 42-year-old man was attacked after surprising an intruder in his Edgewood Avenue apartment, near Dundas Street and Kingston Road in the Beaches area, Sgt. Blair Davey told ctvtoronto.ca on Wednesday.
The victim underwent emergency surgery late Tuesday, Davey said, though he could not provide more details on the victim's condition or name the hospital where he was treated.
The victim's roommate found him lying unconscious with a knife lodged in his stomach roughly three hours after the incident.
The knife wielding suspect is described as white male, between six feet and 6'4" tall, wearing a blue and white Nike-brand jogging suit, red and white Nike-brand shoes with short hair and between the ages of 25 and 35.
The suspect is wanted for aggravated assault, Davey said.
Earlier on Tuesday, Toronto police entreated the public to help locate another man named as "a person of interest" in an early August break-and-enter in the nearby Kingston Road and Main Street area, Det. Daniel Powell told ctvtoronto.ca on Wednesday.
He is described as white, 5'8", weighing 150 pounds with short brown hair.
On Monday, police issued another description for a man believed to be involved in 40 nighttime break-ins in the surrounding neighbourhoods. That suspect was described as a white male, about six feet tall, 170 pounds, with dark hair and a slim build.
There are no known connections between the string of east-end break-ins in recent weeks.
"Descriptions always seem to mirror each another at some point, unless the guy has three heads," Powell said.
