Toronto police say a stabbing in the city’s west end has killed one person and left another wounded.

Police say they received reports of an altercation between a group of people at Lakeshore Boulevard West and Islington Avenue shortly after 6 a.m. Thursday.

Paramedics took a male victim with stab wounds to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Duty Insp. Dan Pravica of the Toronto Police Service says they are trying to locate a second male victim who they believe was wounded in the incident but has yet to seek medical help.
