Barrie police are investigating a stabbing that occurred near Innisdale Secondary School in Barrie Nov. 15. A male teenager was injured and has since been released from hospital. No arrests have been made as of Thursday afternoon.

City police are continuing to investigate a stabbing that occurred near Innisdale Secondary School in south-end Barrie on Wednesday afternoon that sent a male teenager to hospital. 

Police issued an update Thursday saying the 15-year-old victim was treated and released from local hospital after being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

An "edged weapon" was involved in the attack, according to police.

Officers were dispatched to the scene, in the area of Bayview Drive and Little Avenue, at about 2:34 p.m. on Nov. 15.

There have been no arrests made and police believe this is an isolated incident. 

“We’ve got very limited information to work with," Barrie police communications coordinator Peter Leon told BradfordToday and InnisfilToday on Thursday.

“We’re following up with some information, but unless we get a significant tip, we probably won’t (make progress) until something breaks on it," he added.

Anyone with information is asked to call Barrie police at 705-725-7025.
