A video has surfaced online appearing to show the moments following a "serious" stabbing on a subway train near Eglinton Station on Thursday.
Police said they received the call for a stabbing at the Line 1 subway station just after 12:20 p.m.
When officers arrived at Eglinton Station, they located a man suffering from stab wounds. He was immediately transported to a trauma centre with potentially life-threatening injurie but police say that he is now in stable condition.
There is at least one video circulating online which appears to show part of the incident. In the video, subway riders are seen running to the far end of the train, trying to get to safety.
One person seems to yell "he is killing him" and "he's stabbing him up" as they run. Another person yells "oh my god, I can't get off the train."
Police have said they are aware of the video and will provide it to investigators.
The suspect is still at large. On Thursday evening, police released his photos, asking for the public’s help identifying and locating him.
