A man has been taken to hospital with serious injuries after a shooting in the city’s east end.
Toronto police said a man believed to be in his 20s was shot while driving near Victoria Park and Sloane avenues at around 8:40 p.m.
He was rushed to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening leg injuries, Toronto Paramedic Services said.
Four to five suspects fled in a minivan following the shooting, police said. There was no immediate suspect description available.
Residents in the area said they were shocked to see officers flood their normally quiet neighbourhood.
“It’s very alarming because it’s such a quiet neighbourhood. You’d never think this would happen,” one young woman told CP24 near the scene.
Police are asking anyone with information about the shooting to contact investigators.
