Suspect arrested after ‘unprovoked' stabbing in Kensington Market

Man in critical condition following a stabbing near Kensington Market Sunday August 3, 2025 (CP24 photo). A man is in critical condition after being stabbed 'multiple times' in Kensington Market early Sunday morning, Toronto police say. Emergency crews were called to the area of Bellevue Avenue and Denison Square shortly before 5 a.m. and found the victim, a man in his 40s, suffering from serious injuries. He was rushed to hospital via emergency run. Police say the suspect, a 38-year-old man, fled the scene but has since been arrested. 'This stabbing was unprovoked but targeted,' said Insp. Todd Jocko. 'The suspect has been arrested and he will be charged accordingly.' A large police presence remains in the area, as the investigation continues. 'It's very early in this investigation, so there's not a lot of information that I can share,' Jocko added. Anyone with information is asked to contact investigators.

Northern Ont. motorist charged for being on the road less than 24 hours after licence suspended

Ontario Provincial Police impounded the motorcycle shown after a traffic stop in Cochrane, Ont., on July 28, 2025, after a traffic stop investigation revealed that the rider's licence was suspended the day before. (Ontario Provincial Police/Facebook) A Cochrane resident is facing several charges after being stopped by police twice within 24 hours last weekend, the Ontario Provincial Police reported Sunday. Initial stop The first incident occurred on the morning of Sunday, July 27, when officers pulled over a pickup truck on Sixth Avenue in Cochrane. A roadside breath test using a breathalyzer revealed the driver had a warn-range blood alcohol concentration, resulting in an immediate three-day licence suspension. More violations Monday The following morning, at about 6:45 a.m., police stopped a motorcycle on Third Avenue after observing it speeding and producing excessive noise. Police confirmed the rider was the same individual from the previous day's stop. Penalties and charges As a result, the 26-year-old motorist was charged with driving while under suspension, operating a motor vehicle without insurance, careless driving, driving without plates, driving a motorcycle without a proper rear light, failing to surrender a vehicle permit and producing unnecessary noise. Additionally, the motorcycle was impounded for seven days at the owner's expense. The accused is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 2. In a social media post related to the incident, OPP Const. Kyler Brouwer urged motorists to 'Drive safe.'

Chilean rescuers recover the bodies of 4 miners who were trapped in a collapsed shaft

Aerial view of El Teniente copper mine, operated by Codelco, where a collapse killed one worker and trapped five others underground, leading to a suspension of operations in Rancagua Chile, Aug. 2, 2025. (AP Photo/Esteban Felix, file) BOGOTA, Colombia — The bodies of four out of five miners trapped in a collapsed section of one of Chile's biggest copper mines for three days have been found and identified, an official said Sunday. Rescue workers at the El Teniente mine, about 100 kilometres (60 miles) south of the capital Santiago, are still looking for the fifth miner, identified as Moises Pavez, mine director Andres Music said. The trapped miners were located thanks to GPS devices, but rescue workers had to drill through dozens of metres (feet) of rock to reach them. A section of the mine collapsed following a 4.2 magnitude quake on Thursday, killing one worker and injuring nine others. Authorities are investigating whether it was a naturally occurring earthquake or whether mining activity at El Teniente caused the tremor. Chilean prosecutors also launched a criminal investigation to determine whether any safety standards were violated. El Teniente, located in the Andes mountains in central Chile, is the world's largest underground copper mine and is owned by Chilean state company Codelco. Shortly after Thursday's collapse, Codelco halted operations at the affected section of the copper mine and evacuated 3,000 people from the wider site to safe areas. The company cancelled a presentation of its first-half financial results, set for Friday morning, due to the rescue efforts. Chile, the world's largest copper producer, also lies in the seismically active 'Ring of Fire' that surrounds the shores of the Pacific Ocean. The Associated Press
