Two men have been arrested after a 25-year-old man was chased down by a group of suspects in the downtown core last week and stabbed to death.
Police previously said 25-year-old Simon Zerezghi was killed on the night of Jan. 29 after he was swarmed by about 10 suspects on Yonge Street near Wellesley Street and stabbed in the chest.
The suspects fled the scene and the victim was rushed to hospital in life-threatening condition but later died.
On Sunday, police announced that two men had been arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing.
Twenty-five-year-old Colin Defreitas, who was taken into custody on Thursday, and 32-year-old James Craig, who was arrested Saturday, are facing first-degree murder charges in connection with Zerezghi’s death.
The two men have also been charged with attempted murder in connection with a second victim, police told CTV News Toronto on Sunday.
Anyone with additional information about the case is asked to contact investigators or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
