Officers found two men aged 19 and 20 with stab wounds as a result of the fight. Both of the victims were taken to a hospital by ambulance in serious condition.
A 14-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy were arrested and charged with a variety of counts by police. In a tweet posted by Toronto Police on April 26, officers also mentioned recovering a knife from the incident.
