Toronto police are looking for a 36-year-year old man who is wanted for alleged dangerous driving and a shooting incident that occurred in the city’s east end in the Victoria Park Avenue and Gerrard Street East area over the weekend.
According to police, on Saturday, July 6 around 2 am, a man was driving his vehicle eastbound on Danforth Avenue at Main Street when he encountered a 19-year-old driving his own vehicle.
After a “brief interaction,” police said the 19-year-old drove off southbound on Main Street from Danforth Avenue and was followed by the other man, who attempted to cut him off.
The 19-year-old man then drove eastbound on Gerrard Street East towards Victoria Park Avenue, as a second vehicle began following him. The 19-year-old then drove northbound on Victoria Park Avenue, as both of the other vehicles attempted to box him in and force him off the road.
As a result, law enforcement says both the 19-year-old’s and the suspects’ vehicles sustained damage.
Police said one of the men then pulled up beside the 19-year-old man’s vehicle and pointed a handgun at him and began firing.
