Eight teenaged girls were charged with murder after a 59-year-old man was stabbed to death in downtown Toronto over the weekend, police said on Tuesday.
The incident happened just after midnight on Sunday at a plaza near the city's main rail station. The man, who was not identified, was pronounced dead at a hospital early on Sunday, Toronto Police Service said in a statement.
Three 13-year-old girls, three 14-year-old girls and two 16-year-old girls have been charged with second-degree murder, police added. The attack began when one of the girls tried to take alcohol from the man, witnesses told CTV News.
