A teen boy has died following a stabbing late Saturday in the east end of Toronto.
Paramedics were flagged down for reports of a stabbing in the area of Eastern and Coxwell Avenues shortly after 10 p.m., police said.
Once paramedics arrived on scene, they located an injured teen boy and rushed him to the hospital.
He later died in hospital as a result of his injuries.
Police said they were working with the coroner’s office to identify the teen and notify his family before releasing his identity to the public.
No suspects have been confirmed, and police said they would share suspect descriptions once they become available.
Toronto police Det. Sgt. Alan Bartlett told reporters Sunday that there were “hundreds of people” in the area at the time of the stabbing, adding that there is “a lot” of surveillance video from the area police are going through.
“I would encourage you if you saw something, if you recorded something on your device, if you know something, to please contact the Toronto Police Service,” Bartlett said.
The homicide unit has taken over the investigation and forensic personnel were on scene collecting evidence, Bartlett said.
He added the scene is “extensive” and a large area is cordoned off around the area of a McDonald’s restaurant for the investigation.
