‘Armed and dangerous’ man wanted after car fired at

An “armed and dangerous” 36-year-old man is sought by Toronto police after an altercation between drivers on Danforth Avenue at Main Street escalated into a vehicle being forced off the road and a shot being fired on Victoria Park Avenue early on July 6.

At about 2 a.m., a man driving eastbound on Danforth had an interaction with a driver, 19, in another car, police say. The 19-year-old reportedly drove away south on Main Street, followed by the man, who tried to cut him off.

The 19-year-old man then drove east on Gerrard Street East toward Victoria Park, as a third vehicle joined the fray.
