A 23-year-old Burlington man is in hospital after being stabbed and Halton police are searching for a handful of suspects.

The incident took place downtown on Sept. 3 just after 2 a.m.

Officers were sent to Maria and Elizabeth streets for a report of a stabbing.

The victim was found with a laceration to his left bicep.

He was treated and transported to Joseph Brant Hospital where he received 10 stitches to close the wound.

The victim and his girlfriend were walking home after going to a downtown bar when they came across a group of three or four males and a female.  

One of the guys allegedly said something insulting to the victim, which led to a fight between the victim and the group.

That’s when he was stabbed by one of the males, who pulled out a knife with a black handle.

The male suspects are white in their 20s.

The female is white with long dark hair, a thin build and a half or full-sleeve tattoo.

Anyone with information is asked to phone Det.-Const. Erin Toth of the criminal investigations bureau at 905-825-4747 ext. 2313 or Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-8477.
