Toronto police say a 21-year-old man is facing a variety of charges after a car performed doughnuts in front of Yonge-Dundas Square Monday night.

A video posted to social media appears to show the incident, which police said occurred shortly before 10:15 p.m.

A black Mustang could be seen performing the stunt in the middle of the intersection as bystanders watched on as some filmed the incident.

A Toronto police cruiser then approaches the scene with lights flashing and its siren on before the Mustang appeared to flee the scene southbound on Yonge Street.
