Toronto police say officers have shot a man after a woman was stabbed inside a Scarborough residence Saturday afternoon.
Officers were initially called to a home in the area of Midland Avenue and Kingston Road shortly after 2:30 pm for a stabbing.
When they arrived, police learned that a male suspect was still inside the home with the victim and a child.
At some point, police fired at the suspect. He and the victim have been taken to hospital.
There was no immediate word on his condition.
Police said the child was fine and was not physically injured.
The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) will invoke its mandate, police said.
The SIU is called upon to investigate whenever police are involved in a death, serious injury, allegations of sexual assault or the discharge of a firearm at a person.
