Officers responded to the violence that flared near Dunlop Street East and Brock Street South.
That is where they located a 51-year-old male with life-threatening injuries.
The victim was transported to a Toronto-area trauma center.
The suspect fled eastbound from Dunlop Street.
Investigators are still looking into the motive for this incident.
The suspect is described as a short male with a small build. He wore all black clothing.
