Peel Regional Police said officers responded at approximately 10 p.m. last Sunday to the area of Clockwork Dr. and Creditview Rd. in Brampton for reports of a robbery.

“During the incident, a male suspect attempted to carjack a vehicle while the owner was seated inside,” police said in news release. “The victim was stabbed before the suspect fled the area on foot.”

Police said the victim was transported to a local trauma centre with non-life-threatening injuries.

Cops allege the suspect then went to a nearby residence where he kicked in the front door and demanded keys to a vehicle, but was unsuccessful and fled the home. He then attempted to carjack two additional vehicles in the area but failed.

The suspect was identified by investigators on Monday and a search warrant was used at a Brampton address, cops said.
