A teenager has been taken to hospital after being stabbed in Yorkdale Shopping Centre this afternoon, police say.

Police were called to the area just before 5:30 p.m. to investigate reports of a stabbing. Paramedics say they found a male in his late teens who had been stabbed in the torso. Although the wounds were initially believed to be life-threatening, paramedics were able to stabilize him at the scene, and he was transported to hospital in serious, but stable, condition.

He was set upon by a group of people — three men in their late teens to early twenties, police say — and was able to describe his attackers. Police are now looking for three suspects, one with a shaved head and a red t-shirt, another with glasses and black pants, and the third with a red and white striped shirt and blue jeans. Police are searching the area, and it is unknown whether the suspects are still inside the mall or not.

Police do not believe there is a threat to public safety, and are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspects.
