Peel Regional Police (PRP) are on the hunt for a man who is wanted in connection with a stabbing and several attempted carjackings in Brampton over the weekend.<\/p>\n

According to investigators, the suspect attempted to steal a car with the owner seated inside near the area of Clockwork Drive and Creditview Road just after 10 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the incident, the suspect stabbed the victim before fleeing the area on foot,\u201d PRP wrote in a statement shared Monday. \u201cThe victim was transported to a local trauma centre where they were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Detectives say the suspect then went to a nearby home where he allegedly kicked in the front door and told the residents to hand over their car keys.<\/p>\n

He was unsuccessful and fled the home, but then attempted to carjack two other vehicles in the area without success.<\/p>\n

\u201cNone of these victims were injured during the attempts,\u201d police said.<\/p>\n

Authorities say the suspect is on the run and believed to be armed and dangerous. He is described as a South Asian man between the ages of 25 and 30, with a slim build and a possible tattoo on his neck.<\/p>\n

He was last seen wearing a grey sweater, light-coloured pants, black Crocs, a blue and white Toronto Blue Jays baseball hat, and a black messenger-style bag over his shoulder.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.<\/p>\n
