Police release image of suspect in stabbing of 17-year-old at Taste of Lawrence street festival

Police are searching for three outstanding suspects after a 17-year-old boy was stabbed at the Scarborough Taste of Lawrence, which so far led to the arrest of two 16-year-old boys.

Police are still searching for three outstanding suspects after a 17-year-old boy was stabbed at the Taste of Lawrence festival in Scarborough earlier this month. The 17-year-old boy was at the street festival when he encountered two 16-year-olds and their group of friends, according to Toronto police. Ten to 15 suspects approached the 17-year-old, police said, and allegedly engaged him in a fight.

A knife was then produced and the victim was stabbed. Police say the victim and one of the accused were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Officials said the victim and two accused knew each other.

In a news release on Friday, investigators say they are searching for three more male suspects after previously arresting two 16-year-old boys. Police describe the first suspect as 19 years old, between five-foot-eight and five-foot-10, weighing between 165 and 170 pounds with black hair. They add that he was last seen wearing a black Hoodrich vest, blue track pants, black and white shoes, and a white surgical mask.

Investigators released a photo of that suspect but there are no images of the other two outstanding suspects. Police describe the second suspect as five-foot-six, weighing 130 pounds, and was seen wearing a black toque, black T-shirt, black pants, black surgical mask, and pink and blue rubber bracelets on his right wrist. The third suspect is described by police as five-foot-nine, weighing 140 pounds, with black dread locks.

Investigators say he was last seen wearing a black hoodie, white T-shirt, black Adidas pants with a stripe down the side, and black and white shoes.
