Two 13-year-old girls are facing charges after another teen was stabbed “numerous times” in a plaza parking lot in Vaughan.

At around 8 p.m. on Saturday, York Regional Police were called to a fast-food restaurant in a plaza near Rutherford Road East and Highway 400 for reports of a “disturbance” involving a group of young people.

A few minutes after receiving the call, police said, a fight ensued in the parking lot and a 13-year-old girl was stabbed.

Officers who arrived on scene found the victim suffering from multiple injuries and two female suspects were located and taken into custody, police said.

A knife was recovered at the scene.

The victim was taken to hospital in non-life-threatening condition, according to investigators.

The two suspects, who have been identified as a 13-year-old girl from Richmond Hill and a 13-year-old girl from Vaughan, have each been charged with assault with a weapon. They cannot be identified under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

One teen was held for a bail hearing, while the other was released and is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 19.
