A heavy police presence remained on scene into the early evening as police officers with flashlights searched the area, while others stood at the door of 844 Johnson St. canvassing residents about what they may have seen or heard.

The middle-aged man taken to hospital is expected to survive and did not suffer life-threatening injuries.

A small portion of the area right outside the front doors has been taped off, with the yellow caution tape extending inside the building as well.

Police outside could be heard warning residents about the stabbing that had just taken place and are treating the vicinity as an active crime scene.
