Man and woman seriously injured in separate downtown Toronto stabbings hours apart

Toronto police are investigating two separate stabbing incidents that left a man and a woman with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. The first incident occurred in Moss Park neighbourhood just after 1 a.m. Wednesday morning, near Sherbourne Street and Shuter Street. The victim, a man in his 20s, was found stabbed and rushed to the hospital with serious wounds. Police are searching for three male suspects in connection with the incident, though no descriptions have been released.

Approximately three hours later, a second stabbing was reported in the same area near Queen Street East and Sherbourne Street. Police were called to a residential building around 4:08 a.m., where they found a woman in her 40s with a stab wound. She too was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. Like the first suspect, no description has been provided for the second assailant. It remains unclear if the two incidents are linked.
