Canadian police have identified the Toronto man who was fatally stabbed last month, allegedly by a group of teenage girls.
Police have said they believed the teens congregated after meeting on social media and are from homes across the Greater Toronto Area. They said three had previous interactions with police, while five others did not. Canadian authorities can't identify them because they're minors. One was granted bail last month, while the rest await hearings.
Investigators have said they think the girls were trying to take a bottle of alcohol from the man. They also said the same girls got into an altercation earlier that night, taking part in a"swarming," which is unheard of among girls, Toronto Police Sgt. Terry Browne said last month. For a time decades ago in Toronto, young teen boys would swarm people as they tried to steal Dr. Martens boots or Air Jordan shoes, but the crimes faded away, he said.
"Has this happened recently that we are not aware of? Have people been posting this stuff online that we weren't aware of?" Browne said."It's something that we are going to try to find out.""I can tell you it was a shock to find out that their children were involved in an event like this," he said."I've been in policing for almost 35 years and you think you've seen it all," Browne said in an interview with The Associated Press.
