Peel police are looking for five male suspects after a double stabbing in Brampton early Thursday that sent two people to hospital with serious knife wounds.

The incident occurred just after 12 a.m. on Barr Crescent, in the area of Sandalwood Parkway East and Kennedy Road North.

Peel police say it was a “street robbery” that escalated to violence when five males approached the two teens as they were walking.

Both victims were stabbed and rushed to hospital by Peel Region paramedics with serious but non-life-threatening knife wounds.
