London police are investigating after a shooting at roughly 4:30 p.m. on Saturday involving a taxicab and a black sedan.

According to police, the driver of the taxi had picked up a man from an address on Adelaide Street North and was heading east on Oxford Street past Clarke Road when a black, four-door sedan pulled up alongside the driver’s side of the taxi.

Police say an occupant in the sedan fired “several shots” before the sedan continued eastbound on Oxford Street.
