They say that about 15 minutes later, a woman who was standing on the street reported a man wielding a sledgehammer and shouting at her.
Police also say that on Oct. 29, a man allegedly brandished a flare, a handgun and long-bladed knife after pulling up to another vehicle and making threats.
Police further allege that in May 2017, a man intentionally swerved his vehicle into a motorcyclist on the Don Valley Parkway, striking him and running over him once more as he lay on the ground.
