Police are looking for a suspect after a 34-year-old woman was stabbed outside a Great Canadian Superstore near Dufferin Street and the 407 just after noon today.

Const. Tony Vella says the victim was approached by a man who was asking for directions in the parking lot of the store, at 51 Gerry Fitzgerald Dr.

During the conservation, the male suspect pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim in the neck. Vella says it appears to be a random attack.

The woman has been taken to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

The suspect is described as a 20 to 22-year old male, five foot three to five foot five with short black hair wearing blue jeans, a white T-shirt and sweater. He fled in an older model, white vehicle, possibly a four door hatchback with rust around the wheels.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 416-808-3200.
