The incident occurred in the Cabbagetown South neighborhood, near Sherbourne Street and Dundas Street East.

Toronto police said they were called to that area shortly before 9:30 p.m. after receiving reports of gunshots heard nearby.

They said officers found a male victim with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries, and a vehicle was seen fleeing the area.

Police initially said the two suspects, a man and a woman, fled the area.

In a follow-up post on X, they said officers arrested a suspect after a brief foot chase. They were taken to hospital as a precaution, a media official told CTV News Toronto.

The arrest was made after the suspect vehicle was involved in a single-vehicle collision near The Westway and Kipling Avenue in Etobicoke, police said.

A media official confirmed to CP24.com that there are no other outstanding suspects.

Police also said a firearm has been recovered.

There is currently an increased police presence in the area of ​​the shooting.

Sherbourne is closed between Dundas and Gerrard streets and police are asking drivers to use alternative routes.
