TORONTO —
A woman is in custody after a one-year-old girl and a three-year-old boy suffered life-threatening injuries in a stabbing at an apartment complex in Toronto.
Authorities were called to a North York property, in the Jane Street and Weston Road area, just after 10 a.m. on Saturday morning.
Police said when they arrived they located the two children suffering from stab wounds inside an apartment unit.
Paramedics said the boy and girl were rushed to SickKids Hospital with serious injuries. Police say adding the children sustained life threatening injuries.
