A male victim is fighting for his life after being stabbed in Mississauga on Friday afternoon.
The incident happened around 3 p.m. in the area of Indian Grove and Indian Road. Police say an altercation occurred inside a residence before the stabbing.
Speaking to reporters at the scene, Peel Regional Police Acting Insp. Matt Miller said officers arrived to find a male victim suffering from multiple “lacerations.”
“Officers and other emergency services performed life-saving measures.”
The victim was taken to a local hospital, where his injuries are currently considered life-threatening.
Police arrested a 17-year-old male suspect at the scene, who will be charged with attempted murder, according to Miller.
“There is no current evidence to support that any other parties are outstanding in this event,” Miller said.
Miller said the suspect and victim knew each other at the time of the incident.
“I can say at this point that the relationship is familial, but I don’t know the exact nature of the relationship,” he said.
Indian Grove Road is currently closed as police continue their investigation.
