Local police are searching for a suspect involved in two stabbings that occurred Friday evening in the city’s northeast end.
Officials say at 6:20 p.m., a man was inside a local business in the area of Adelaide Street North and Huron Street when they were suddenly approached by a strange man.
Police believe the suspect then allegedly stabbed the victim and fled on foot in a northeast direction.
Then 15 minutes later at around 6:35 p.m., officials say another man was inside their home in the area of Belfield Street and Norwood Avenue, when an unidentified male entered.
The suspect was confronted by the resident before allegedly stabbing him.
Both victims sustained minor injuries.
Half an hour later, it was around 7:05 p.m. when police say an unidentified male attempted to steal a car located in a parking lot in the area of Adelaide Street North and Huron Street.
He was unsuccessful, and officials say he fled on foot once again, this time heading eastbound.
