Man injured after being robbed at knifepoint, stabbed in Brampton

Police are searching for a suspect wanted in connection with a robbery and stabbing at a Brampton park on Friday afternoon.

Investigators say two men, who were not known to each other, were at Duggan Park in the area of Ken Whillans Drive and Sproule Drive around 2 p.m. when an altercation occurred. A 56-year-old Brampton man was then stabbed, according to police.

Paramedics rushed the man to a trauma centre in serious condition.

The suspect is described as being in his 30s, approximately five foot nine to five foot 10, and 170 pounds with short buzz-cut hair. He was last seen wearing a dark-coloured jacket and light-coloured track pants and carrying a black backpack with the letters ‘JP’ on it.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.

Peel Regional Police responded to a stabbing in the same area on Tuesday afternoon. In that incident, the victim was transported to a Toronto hospital with critical injuries, and they’re now in stable condition.
