Scarborough stabbing Police cruisers at the scene of a fatal stabbing in Scarborough on Thursday, Oct. 16, 2025. (Craig Wadman) <\/p>\nPolice say there was a fatal stabbing in an alleyway near the Eglinton and Danforth area around 4 p.m. Two suspects have been taken into custody. <\/p>\n
A man in his 50s is dead after a stabbing in Scarborough on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Emergency crews were initially called to Eglinton Avenue East and Danforth Road around 4:15 p.m. for an unknown trouble.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen they showed up on scene, they couldn\u2019t find a complainant or any evidence, so they continued their investigation,\u201d Insp. Scott Bradbury told reporters at the scene.<\/p>\n
Eventually, Bradbury said, their investigation led them to a nearby apartment in the area of Eglinton Avenue East and Falmouth Avenue.<\/p>\n
Officers entered a unit and found a man suffering serious injuries, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the time, paramedic services were with the officers because of the original call and started to provide life-saving measures,\u201d Bradbury said.<\/p>\n
