A Toronto Student Was Stabbed Outside Of Their School Yesterday & Transported To Hospital

A Toronto student from Birchmount Park Collegiate Institute was stabbed after school on Monday at approximately 3:10 p.m., according to a letter sent home to parents.

The student was reportedly stabbed outside of the school building in Scarborough "shortly after dismissal" and transported to the hospital with "non-life threatening" injuries, according to the letter and Toronto Police.

Birchmount Park Collegiate Institute said in the letter sent to parents on Monday night that the student "was not seriously injured by this incident."

According to the school, they were advised not to go into lockdown on Monday by the police as the incident took place after the school had been dismissed when most students and staff were no longer present.

Toronto Police believe that there were three suspects involved in the stabbing, according to a tweet posted at 4:45 p.m. on April 25.

In the tweet, TPS confirmed the victim was male and said that he was taken to hospital by Toronto Paramedic Services in "stable condition."

Birchmount Park Collegiate Institute acknowledged that the incident "may be understandably upsetting for students who saw or heard about what happened" and said that it will be providing resources for students.

"Please be assured that we will do all that we can to assist. TDSB social workers will be available to provide counselling and support at the school tomorrow and will remain for as long as needed. If your child is feeling anxious or upset, please contact the school and we can arrange for support," reads the letter.

A spokesperson for Toronto Police told Narcity that no further information on the incident could be provided at this time.
