A TTC bus driver sheltered a bleeding man on her bus and alerted Toronto police after noticing the victim on the street following a stabbing in Etobicoke.

The man, believed to be in his 20s, took shelter in the 123 Shorncliffe bus shortly after midnight Saturday on Brown's Line near Jellicoe Avenue north of Lakeshore Boulevard West.

Toronto paramedics said the man was stabbed in his hands and taken to a local hospital.

Police said they received a call about the incident at 12:03 a.m.

Const. Caroline de Kloet, spokesperson for the Toronto police, said the bus waited for police and paramedics on Brown's Line.

"The incident didn't happen on a TTC bus," she said. "When officers arrived, the victim was on the bus."

De Kloet said the stabbing occurred in front of a bar on Brown's Line north of Jellicoe Avenue.

Police said in a tweet that the victim was bleeding badly.

De Kloet said police are looking for a male suspect 25 to 30 years old with a shaved head and a blue bandana in his back pocket. He was wearing a black hoodie.

George Eliadis, deputy commander for Toronto Paramedic Service, said the injuries sustained by the victim are believed to be minor.
