Durham Police yesterday said a 13-year-old male has been arrested after stabbing another youth on Friday in Pickering.
On October 27 at about 6:25 pm, members of West Division responded to an armed person call in the area of Kingston Road and Orchard Valley Court in Pickering.
Police arrived on scene and located a 15-year-old male suffering from a stab wound. The victim was transported to a Toronto area trauma centre with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The suspect was known to the victim and had fled the scene prior to police arrival, police said.

The victim’s status has since been upgraded to stable, police said.
A 13-year-old male from Pickering is charged with: Assault Cause Bodily Harm, Assault with a Weapon, Possess Weapon Dangerous to the Public, and Fail to Comply with Undertaking.
He was held for a bail hearing.
