Two Toronto men were in the hospital after one stabbed the other repeatedly and the other was shot by a police officer who tried to stop the stabbing.
Shocking video taken from across the street shows a 26-year-old man repeatedly stabbing a man who is believed to be 60 on September 14, reports the Toronto Sun.
People are heard yelling in the video, which was later uploaded to LiveLeak, for the stabber to stop.
Dogs bark excitedly and cars later honk their horns, perhaps to try to bring attention to the violence that occurred in the Jane and Finch neighborhood, about 12 miles from Downtown Toronto.
At the end of the video, a shot fired by a police officer is heard.
