Two men have been taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries after separate stabbings in the west end of the city on Thursday night.

Police received calls just after 11 p.m. about a group altercation in the area of Islington Ave. and Dundas St. W., near Cordova Ave. They found a man with a wound to his upper body.

The victim was losing consciousness while the original caller was speaking to police, Toronto Police spokesperson Katrina Arrogante said.

In a separate incident, police were called about a stabbing at 11:45 p.m. near Bloor and Jane Sts. They found the victim, a man in his 20s or 30s, with multiple stab wounds to the midsection. He has been transported to hospital in critical condition.

A suspect was seen running away from the scene, but was quickly apprehended, Arrogante said.
