Toronto police say a teen was stabbed at Victoria Park subway station during a robbery attempt late Friday.

A police spokesperson told Global News the incident happened on the westbound platform when a suspect tried to rob a 17-year-old boy of his cellphone.

Police said it’s unclear if the boy’s phone was stolen, but he was stabbed multiple times in the altercation and was transported to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
