Police are searching for two suspects following a slashing at a restaurant in Toronto's east end.
The incident happened on Monday in East York's Pape Village area, near Pape and Gamble avenues, just north of Cosburn Avenue.
Toronto Police Service (TPS) said they were called to that area at about 1:45 p.m. for reports of a stabbing.
A media officer previously told CP24 they attended that area after receiving reports of 10 people fighting.
In a news release, police say two suspects approached two victims at the establishment and assaulted them, before one of the suspects took out a knife and slashed one of the victims.
'At some point, someone received a cut to the hand and went to the hospital – it was NOT a stab wound,' the media officer said in an email to CP24 on Monday afternoon.
The victim went to the hospital with minor injuries, TPS said in a release.
The suspects were last seen fleeing eastbound on Gamble.
Police describe the first suspect as a male between 35 to 45 years old with a heavy build. He was last seen wearing blue jeans, a navy-blue hooded sweater, and black shoes with white soles. The second suspect is a 25- to 35-year-old man with a thin build. He was last seen wearing a navy-blue hooded sweater, dark-coloured shorts, and brown shoes.
This investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact TPS at 416-808-5500 or Crime Stoppers anonymously.

Elements of ex-Olympian's drug network ‘remain in place' in Canada: RCMP
Photos released by the FBI show Ryan James Wedding who is wanted on a number of charges. (FBI) The RCMP say they believe Ryan Wedding, a former Canadian Olympian accused of orchestrating a billion-dollar international drug-trafficking organization, still has a presence in Canada. 'There certainly are elements of his network that remain in place,' RCMP Central Region Chief Supt. Chris Leather told reporters on Friday during an unrelated news conference, when asked about the former snowboarder turned alleged drug kingpin. 'I couldn't say much more than that at this time because of multiple ongoing investigations involving ourselves and our key policing partners, including Toronto police and the Ontario Provincial Police.' Police in Canada and the U.S. continue to search for Wedding, who is wanted on a number of charges in connection with their investigation into his alleged drug trafficking ring. The RCMP have said Wedding poses 'one of the largest organized crime threats to Canada, even as a fugitive.' In March, Wedding, who goes by the names 'Giant,' 'Public Enemy,' and 'El Jefe,' was added to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigations' Top Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. There is a reward of US$10 million for anyone who can lead investigators to his arrest. At that time, officials said they believed the 2002 Winter Olympics athlete was still in Mexico under the protection of the Sinaloa drug cartel. Earlier this year, U.S. prosecutors alleged Wedding still had access to a 'network of hitmen' as they sought additional protections to keep the identities of confidential informants and cooperating witnesses in the case hidden. Wedding, along with his alleged 'second in command,' Canadian Andrew Clark, is also accused of directing four combined murders in Ontario in furtherance of their alleged drug empire. Their victims include an Indian couple who were shot and killed in Caledon in Nov. 2023, in what police said was a case of mistaken identity. With files from CTV News Toronto's Phil Tsekouras

Woodall's namesake school marks 10th anniversary of officer's death
An Edmonton school on Friday marked the 10th anniversary of the on-the-job death of a police officer it was named after. Const. Dan Woodall died on June 8, 2015, after being shot while making an arrest in west Edmonton. A school bearing his name opened in southwest Edmonton in 2017 for Kindergarten through Grade 6. On Friday, Constable Daniel Woodall School presented the inaugural Legacy Award to a student they say embodies the same values Woodall did: Maizie Stewart in Grade 6. 'We had to write an application about all the good things that we've done in our life, how we will continue to help the community,' Stewart told CTV News Edmonton, adding she also needed to submit letters of support from family or friends. 'I'm really proud of myself and I'm really glad that I won it – but if someone else would have won, I still would have been really happy for them,' she said. 'I think this award is really going to help me remember Const. Daniel Woodall and my elementary years when I go to middle school next year.' The award was presented during a school assembly, which was followed by a maple tree dedication ceremony. Principal Leanne Moncrieff said she wanted the tribute to feel more celebratory than it did last year, her first year as principal. 'It was a bit somber…. And in talking with Claire Woodall, she also said this needs to be something that is inspiring,' Moncrieff explained. Although it was a more uplifting affair, it was still an emotional day for Edmonton Police Service Deputy Chief Nicole Chapdelaine, who can remember the day Woodall died. 'It's already been 10 years but it feels like it was just yesterday. So yeah, it's tough. But then when you see what's going on in this school here today, it really resonates and it really is impactful about the difference that Dan continues to make in the community and through the work that he did and the work that the school is carrying on,' Chapdelaine said.
