Police say two suspects are under arrest in connection with a shooting downtown Monday evening that left a man seriously injured.
Toronto police said emergency services were called to the Madison and Bernard avenues area, near Spadina Road and Dupont Street, just before 9:45 p.m
Officers located a 22-year-old man on Madison Avenue suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police allege that prior to the incident, the victim, along with another man, 23, and woman 21, met with a man in an alleyway off Bernard Street.
They allege that after the 22-year-old was shot, he fled in a red car, driven by the woman, which struck a pedestrian and a tree.
The pedestrian was not seriously injured, police said.
