Charges laid after 15-year-old seriously injured in Oshawa, Ont. stabbing
A teenager has been charged in connection with the stabbing of a 15-year-old in Oshawa on Wednesday afternoon.
Emergency crews were called to the area of Harmony Road South and Adelaide Avenue around 12:30 p.m. after receiving a report of an altercation.
When police arrived on scene, they found a teenager suffering from a stab wound. He was taken to a Toronto-area trauma centre with serious, but non-life threatening injuries.

Police say a suspect was taken into custody later that day.
The 15-year-old suspect, who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, has been charged with aggravated assault and weapons dangerous.
