Most wanted: Years after Toronto teen stabbing hunt continues for suspect

Although the 16-year-old, Jessica, miraculously survived the vicious attack, her alleged attacker, Harry Rajkumar, remains at large.

Nathalie Urbas is a seasoned police officer with years of experience, but it’s not very often she gets to keep a souvenir from a case she’s worked on.

“I keep it in my locker downstairs. Every time I put my uniform on, get ready for work, I think of her,” Urbas told Global News.

In the fall of 2018, Urbas was called to a scene she would never forget: a stabbing that nearly took the life of a 16-year-old girl. It was because of life-saving measures performed by Urbas and her partner David Monteiro that the girl was able to make a full recovery.

Although the 16-year-old, Jessica, miraculously survived the vicious attack, her alleged attacker, Harry Rajkumar, remains at large.

With an international warrant out for his arrest, Urbas says she still hopes for his capture nearly five-and-a-half years later.

Monteiro was patrolling the area of Eglinton Avenue East in Toronto, when a call came over his radio that sounded serious.

The dispatcher reported that a woman was banging on doors screaming that someone was trying to kill her kids. He was one of the first to arrive and sensed something was terribly wrong.

“As I ran down the hall and I saw the scene kind of unfolded. The door was open. There was a mother holding her young daughter in her arms. And she had severe wounds to her neck and cheek area,” explained Monteiro.
