Heavily-armed tactical officers and police dogs scoured a Mississauga neighbourhood in search of a suspect after a 16-year-old boy was stabbed and rushed to hospital Thursday (Nov. 30).

The incident occurred just after 10:30 a.m. at a park area at Charlotte Court and Middlebury Drive, just north of Erin Mills Town Centre.

The victim, who lives near the area where the incident occurred, was rushed to local hospital with serious injuries.

Police placed several schools into hold and secure, meaning all the doors must remain locked and no one can enter or leave the buildings. Those schools were St. Aloysius Gonzaga and John Fraser high schools, along with Thomas Street Middle School and Middlebury Public School.
