Former employee allegedly stabs 4 at Toronto office building
(CBC) Suspect Chuang (Ray) Li in police custody, 4 Ceridian workers taken to hospital.
Charges are expected to be laid against a man accused of stabbing his former co-workers in a north Toronto office building that left four people with injuries, police say.
Toronto police say the attack happened just after 9:30 a.m. ET on the fifth floor of an office complex at 4110 Yonge St., near York Mills Avenue.
The victims were employees of a human resources company, two of whom are in serious condition as a result of the attack. Late on Wednesday afternoon, police said the two most seriously injured individuals were undergoing surgery, but are expected to survive.
Initial reports indicated that the wounded employees included a 32-year-old woman, as well as three men between the ages of 35 and 45.
Police received numerous 911 calls of an assailant attacking people with "a sharp instrument" they believed may have been a knife.
A man was subdued by employees until officers arrived. Police have identified the suspect as Chuang (Ray) Li, 47.
On Wednesday afternoon, a statement was issued by Ceridian, the parent company of Dayforce, whose employees were attacked.
"At approximately 9:30 a.m. today, four Ceridian employees were attacked by a former employee at our Toronto office," said the statement from Ceridian CEO David Ossip and president Dave MacKay.
While Ceridian did not identify the suspect or the wounded employees, the company said "the entire Ceridian family is shocked and deeply saddened by this incident."
The suspect was not injured in the incident. Footage from outside the office building showed a man wearing a striped blue office shirt and dress pants being led into a police cruiser.
Later Wednesday, police were seen towing a vehicle from the garage of the building.
The CBC's Lorenda Reddekopp reported that charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault are likely.
