Toronto police say they’ve arrested and charged a man after a stabbing on a downtown streetcar that involved two people who did not know each other.

Police say they responded to the stabbing that took place on the streetcar in the area of Dundas Street West and St Patrick Street shortly after 3 p.m. Tuesday.

They allege a 55-year-old suspect and the victim were arguing when the altercation turned physical, at which point the suspect pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim.
