Toronto police officer seriously injured while making an arrest in North York: TPS
A Toronto police officer was injured while making an arrest in North York on Monday night, say police.
The incident happened around 10 p.m. in the Willowdale neighbourhood, near Yonge Street and Kingsdale Avenue, north of Sheppard Avenue.
Police said that the officer attended that area following reports of five males attempting to steal a car and was injured making an arrest.
A media officer told CP24 that there was no weapon used on the officer and that there are no other reports of any other injuries.
Toronto police later said that the officer sustained a leg injury and is doing OK.
It is not known if more suspects are outstanding, they said.
Police also said that the province's Special Investigtions Unit (SIU) has not been called in at this point. The SIU is a civilian agency that investigates when police are involved in an incident that results in death, serious injury, sexual assault, and/or the discharge of a firearm at a person.
Paramedics said that they transported an adult patient to the hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries from the scene. However, they could not confirm the age or gender of the victim at this point.
Two male suspects have been arrested, but it is unclear at this point what or if any charges will be laid.
The investigation is ongoing.
