Police have arrested a man after a stabbing rampage at a Toronto company left four people wounded, two of them with life-threatening injuries. 
 
 The man allegedly attacked his former co-workers around 9:30 a.m. in a sleepy office complex on Yonge Street just south of Highway 401. Other workers were able to detain the suspect until help arrived.

 “I believe the employees eventually subdued him until the police got here,” Detective Dan Darnbrough told reporters at the scene. 
 
 A man and a woman were taken to a trauma centre with life-threatening injuries, said Kim McKinnon, a spokeswoman for Toronto Emergency Medical Services. 
 
 Two other male victims were taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries, she said. All victims, who are in their 30s and 40s, had multiple stabbing or slash wounds. 
 
 The victims work for Ceridian, a global payroll and human resources company. The company said the alleged perpetrator is a former employee at the Toronto office. 
 
 “Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families,” the company said in an e-mailed statement. “As you might imagine, this is a very difficult time. The entire Ceridian family is shocked and deeply saddened by this incident.” 
 
 Ceridian said it would not release the victims’ conditions, saying it wanted to respect their privacy. The company said it is co-operating with investigators. 
 
 Chuang Li, 47, of Mississauga, was arrested. He was charged with three counts of attempted murder, four counts of aggravated assault and four counts of assault with a weapon. 
 
 Officers recovered a sharp instrument believed to be a knife, Det. Darnbrough said. The motive for the attacks was not immediately clear. 
 
 Wearing a blue striped button-up shirt and jeans, the suspect was loaded into a police car with his bloodied hands cuffed behind his back, according to CTV News video. 
 
 The incident occurred on the fifth floor of 4110 Yonge St., near York Mills Road. The six-storey tower is one of three buildings that make up the Yonge Corporate Centre, which is owned by the Cadillac Fairview Corp. 
 
 A spokeswoman for Cadillac Fairview declined comment, citing the police investigation. 
 
 Dianne Hutchison, who works one floor up from the site of the attacks, said she first realized something was wrong when building staff announced on the public address system that there was an emegency. Then, firefighters did a room-by-room sweep of her office to check that everyone was unharmed, saying only that there had been an “incident” on the fifth floor. 
 
 Ms. Hutchison said her co-workers learned about the stabbings only when their phones started ringing. 
 
 “We had no idea what was going on until family members started calling,” said Ms. Hutchison, an executive assistant at Spire Group, which builds and operates cold storage warehouses. 
 
 Tony Bitonti, a spokesman for the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. who works in an adjacent building, went out to investigate after colleagues who had taken a smoke break told him of a flurry of emergency vehicles. 
 
 He saw paramedics attending to two men, one with a bandage wrapped around his head and jaw, the other man wearing a ripped white T-shirt. Both victims were able to walk to an ambulance with some assistance, he said. 
 
 “I was kind of in stunned disbelief,” he said. “It’s very quiet around here. Nothing ever really happens around here. We back onto a golf course, lots of trees. Very idyllic type of setting for an office complex.” ||||| A neighbour of a 47-year-old man accused of going on a stabbing rampage in a North York office building says the Mississauga resident is a “polite” and “ordinary” family man. 
 
 Chuang “Ray” Li is slated to appear at a Finch Ave. courthouse on 11 charges, including three counts of attempted murders, after four people were injured in an attack Wednesday. 
 
 Toronto Police say the man was in the process of being fired when he allegedly attacked managers at Dayforce HCM, a human resources technology company which is part of Ceridian. 
 
 The attack left four victims in hospital, one with life-threatening injuries. 
 
 “He seemed like a polite guy,” neighbour William Sidora said of Li. “He would walk up and down the street. He’d walk his dog or ride his bike or jog around the neighbourhood.” 
 
 Sidora said he and his family had little contact with the neighbour — known as “Ray” — other than exchanging the occasional greeting. 
 
 Li and his family — a wife and teenage daughter — have lived in their Derry Rd.-Winston Churchill Blvd. area neighbourhood for a decade, he said. 
 
 When a Sun reporter knocked at a home, which neighbours identified as the Li’s family residence, a woman inside did not open the front door, offering only a dismissive wave. 
 
 A next-door neighbour also declined to comment, calling the situation “quite shocking.” 
 
 Sidora, meanwhile, described Li as a normal guy who “never did anything out of the ordinary,” adding he would never expect him to be involved in such an incident. 
 
 EMS got the call for the stabbing at 4110 Yonge St. — near Hwy. 401 — around 9:35 a.m. Toronto EMS confirmed four patients were taken to Sunnybrook Hospital where three remained overnight. 
 
 One 32-year-old woman has life-threatening injuries. Two men targeted in the attack suffered non life-threatening injuries. 
 
 Toronto Police Det. Dan Darnbrough said workers in the building subdued the attacker until officers arrived. 
 
 “What I can tell you is it was a sharp instrument, probably a knife,” Darnbrough said of the weapon used in the attack. 
 
 Police locked down the fifth floor of the building and questioned office workers. 
 
 Ceridian CEO David Ossip and president Dave MacKay released a joint statement about the incident, alleging that the attacker is a former employee of the company. 
 
 “Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. As you might imagine, this is a very difficult time. The entire Ceridian family is 
 
 shocked and deeply saddened by this incident.” 
 
 The company declined to provide additional information about the alleged assailant or his victims. 
 
 Nicole Rooney was standing outside having a cigarette when officers arrived Wednesday morning. 
 
 “All of a sudden they jumped out of their cars; they had their guns drawn,” she said. “I knew something big had happened.” 
 
 Rooney described the plaza where the building is located as very quiet. 
 
 “I usually see raccoons or deer running around,” she said. “It’s not a violent area.” 
 
 The building where the stabbings occurred is next door to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. headquarters. 
 
 OLG spokesman Tony Bitonti said there was “no mass panic” when the incident happened at the normally “quiet” and “idyllic” office complex. 
 
 “I didn’t know what was going on until I walked outside,” Bitonti said. “All I know is there was a stabbing in one of the offices next door.” 
 
 By the time he came outside the OLG building, Bitonti saw two men sitting on a cement barrier “being tended to by paramedics.” 
 
 “One of (them) had bandages around his head and around the chin and (there was) another gentleman in a white undershirt and they were attending to him,” 
 
 Bitonti said. “Both of them were escorted to ambulances.” 
 
 He said a few other stretchers came out of the building but no one was on them. 
 
 “We were told by the police and the building owners that a suspect was apprehended,” he said. “They said there was no safety concerns for tenants in these buildings.” 
 
 Bitonti said the attack left people in the complex shocked. 
 
 “We’re kind of in stunned disbelief,” he said. 
 
 Li also faces multiple counts of aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.
