Male Wanted for Stabbing in Oshawa

On Tuesday, May 7, 2024, at approximately 2:30 p.m., members of Central East Division responded to a collision in the area of Grandview Street and Ridge Valley Drive.  A grey Mazda sedan fled after it forced an SUV off the roadway into a fire hydrant.  The driver of the SUV was suffering from a stab wound and was transported to a Toronto trauma centre with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

The victim’s injuries have since been upgraded to stable.
