A man has been arrested for allegedly stabbing another male, unprovoked, in the Weston area on Wednesday afternoon.

Toronto police were called to Weston Road and King Street, just north of Lawrence Avenue, just before 12 p.m. on Sept. 17.

It’s alleged the male victim was working at the rear of a building in the area when an unknown male suspect approached him from behind. The suspect then allegedly stabbed the victim, unprovoked, before fleeing the area.

The victim was transported to the hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries.

Authorities identified the suspect and arrested 26-year-old Joshua Alexander of Toronto. He faces charges, including aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and weapons dangerous.

The accused was scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.
