Three men have been arrested in connection with a stabbing in the city’s downtown core last week.
On June 30, police received a report of a stabbing near Yonge and Wellesley streets at around 6:20 p.m.
Investigators say a 21-year-old man was approached by three men he knew.
The 21-year-old was unaware that two of the men were concealing the third man because he was carrying a knife, police say.
Police allege the third man then began to stab the victim and chased him into the streets as he attempted to run from the attack.
The victim was taken to a local hospital where he received treatment for his wounds and was later released.
Police say three suspects were arrested over the weekend and charged in relation to the incident.
Sean Winders, 36, of Toronto was charged with assault with a weapon, aggravated assault and failure to comply with probation.
He is expected to appear in court on Sept. 7.
Mohamed Awad, 33, of Toronto was charged with assault with a weapon, aggravated assault, mischief under $5000 and failure to comply with probation.
He is scheduled to make a court appearance on Sept. 12.
A third man, identified as 25-year-old Riley Boland-Luyendwyk, of no fixed address, was charged with assault with a weapon, aggravated assault and carry a concealed weapon.
He is scheduled to appear in court today.
Anyone with information about the investigation is being asked to call police at 416-808-5200 or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
