The province’s Special Investigations Unit is investigating after a man was injured during a police-involved shooting in North York early on Saturday morning.
Toronto paramedics said they were called to the area of Jane Street and Falstaff Avenue at 3:53 a.m. for a report of a shooting.
SIU spokesperson Monica Hudon said that police received a call about a road rage incident where one of the parties involved suspected the other may have had a firearm.
Police reportedly confronted a man in a white two-door car and then shots were fired.
At least one bullet struck the car and the vehicle later struck the divider at a nearby Tim Hortons drive-thru.
Paramedics said the 29-year-old man was taken to hospital in serious condition.
Hudon said they have deemed one officer the subject of the investigation and six other officers as witnesses.
The Special Investigations Unit is called to probe any incident involving an Ontario police officer and a member of the public that results in death, serious injury or an allegation of sexual assault.
