Toronto police say two people have been charged after an assault at Woodbine Beach left one person with serious injuries.
Officers were called to the beach at approximately 10:45 p.m. on Wednesday, July 8, following reports of a stabbing. Police allege that the victim was approached by an adult man and a teenage boy before a verbal dispute began. Investigators say the victim was then assaulted with an edged weapon and a BB gun.
The injured person was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The two suspects allegedly left the area before they were arrested later in the week.
