Fatal stabbing in North York
Toronto police were called to the scene at 15 Tangreen Ct. , near Steeles Avenue W. and Hilda Avenue, just before 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2026. Emergency services responded to calls of a stabbing at the location, police said on social media platform X. Officers arrived to find a man suffering from stab wounds.

His death is being investigated as a homicide. Two men were involved in an altercation that resulted in the victim getting stabbed, police said in a news release Sunday morning.
