A man suffered serious injuries after being stabbed multiple times in Parkdale Saturday evening.

Police responded to a call for a stabbing at around 7:40 p.m. They located a man suffering from multiple stab wounds near King Street West and Wilson Park Road, said Const. David Hopkinson.

A suspect was seen fleeing the scene with a butcher knife, Hopkinson said. Police are unable to confirm whether a butcher knife was used to stab the victim.

Hopkinson said there are inconsistencies in the suspect description. Initially, police were looking for a woman, however a male suspect is in custody.

“I don’t know if that’s the suspect and they had the description wrong initially or what,” Hopkinson said.

Police are continuing to investigate.
