A man is fighting for his life after being stabbed in the back inside a Walmart store near Sherway Gardens, police say.

Police officers have been probing the scene and conducting interviews at the busy store.

Police said a man in his 60s was taken to hospital after being stabbed on July 15 around 2 p.m., in the North Queen Street and The Queensway store.

The victim was apparently stabbed inside the store and it is unclear what sparked the incident, officers said.

Police have not released suspect information or details of the case.

It is believed that the suspect is at large.

There was a daytime shooting in September 2020 at a Walmart parking lot in The Junction that left one man dead.

It is unknown if any arrests were made in that case.

The stabbing investigation is being handled by officers of 22 Division.
