A 25-year-old man has died following what police believe was a violent street robbery early Wednesday.

At about 12:30 a.m., paramedics received a call about an injured man found outside a bar at Yonge St. and Lola Rd., south of Eglinton Ave.

The man, since identified as Zaher Noureddine, was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries and later pronounced dead.

Police had called the incident a “fight” earlier, but now believe it was related to a robbery. They are seeking three male suspects in dark clothing seen fleeing in a light-coloured four-door sedan.

Businesses in the area with video surveillance have been asked to contact police.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. Jeff Allington at 416-808-7400, ext. 77398; Det. Sgt. Kevin Leahy at 416-808-7400, ext. 77405; or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
