The teen victim injured in an overnight stabbing in the city's west end on Thursday is "expected to pull through," according to Toronto police.
The teen boy was rushed to a trauma centre with "very serious" injuries just after 9 p.m., James Burgin, deputy commander for Toronto Paramedic Services, told CBC Toronto Thursday night. The attack occurred on Northcliffe Boulevard, near St. Clair Avenue and Dufferin Street.
A machete was recovered at the scene.
A staff sergeant at 13 Division said Friday the male victim, who is believed to be in his mid-teens, "underwent surgery and is expected to pull through." His injuries are not life-threatening, but still serious.
The victim told police that the suspects were wearing masks, but there was no further suspect information or word of a potential motive.
Police are canvassing the neighbourhood Friday morning and searching for any evidence or video of the incident.
