He was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

The Toronto police’s marine unit stayed out on the water looking for a second person, officials said, but the next day the search was still underway.

“This is an underwater recovery search at this point,” a spokesperson told Global News on Thursday morning. “I don’t know the timing for the marine unit crews.”

Officers said a dog had also been rescued.
