Three people were stabbed, and one suspect is still at large after an early morning altercation outside of a sports bar, say London police.

Officers responded to the east London venue, at the corner of Dundas Street and Calgary Street, around 1:45 a.m Sunday.

Const. Tanya Alexander said three men were taken to hospital, and two suspects fled the scene on foot.

"One of the males was the victim of ... over a dozen stab wounds," she said. That victim, a 43-year-old man, remains in hospital with non-life threatening injuries, she said.

The two other victims, a 39-year-old man and an a 21-year-old man, were also taken to hospital but have since been released, said Alexander.

London police's K9 unit was there "within seconds of the 911 call," and was able to find one of the suspects behind a nearby home.

Another suspect remains on the lam. He's described by police as being bald, with tan skin, and wearing a jersey-style t-shirt, khaki shorts, long black socks and black running shoes with white soles.

"Don't approach the male, and call police if you think you've seen the male suspect," said Alexander.

Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact London police or Crime Stoppers.
