A young woman was stabbed this afternoon at the Kennedy subway station.

The incident happened near the LRT access platform, where commuters can take a light-rail train to travel east to Midland.

The woman, who is believed to be about 16 years old, was slashed across the forehead and in the neck at around 4 p.m. She has been transported to the Hospital for Sick Children for treatment. She is in stable condition.

Police are looking for a 17-year-old female suspect. The platform was busy at the time and police say they are looking for eyewitnesses.

Although the incident halted subway and bus service, full service at the transit station resumed at around 5 p.m.
