Toronto police are investigating after a man was allegedly stabbed and robbed of his bicycle in a North York neighbourhood about two weeks ago.
Police said they were called to the Hidden Trail and Carriage Lane area for a report of a robbery on Aug. 19, at around 9 p.m.
Investigators say a man was riding his bicycle when an unknown male in a Halloween mask attacked the cyclist with a sharp object, stabbed him, then called the victim a “demon.”
The suspect then took off with the bicycle, leaving the victim with minor injuries, police said.
Investigators described the suspect as five feet eight inches tall with a slim build and curly hair. He was wearing a full “custom Halloween” mask, a light brown khaki sweater and dark jeans at the time of the incident.
Police released a photo of the bicycle that was stolen, pictured below.
