A man has been seriously injured in a stabbing on a TTC streetcar in downtown Toronto.

Toronto police say they were called to the area of St. Patrick Street and Dundas Street West, west of University Avenue, just after 3 p.m. for a stabbing.

Two people were involved in an altercation on a streetcar, which resulted in one man being stabbed, police say.

Toronto paramedics told CP24 the victim was taken to the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Meanwhile, police say they have located the male suspect who initially fled the scene. There is no immediate word on charges.

In a statement, the TTC said it would assist police as they investigate the incident, sharing video evidence from the streetcar.

“While we don’t yet know the circumstances around this incident, the safety and security of our customers and employees is paramount which is why we made record investments in these areas in our last budget,” the TTC said. “Our thoughts are with the victim for a full recovery.”
